Who do I contact to find out eligibility requirements for the GI Bill

Question

I'm in the IRR and I want to find out how I can get my GI Bill, how much longer I'm authorized it, things like that. I know when you are active duty or drilling (for the Reserves) you have to pass your PT test to get paid every month. I need to find out all of the details cause I'd like to take a class for my civilian job. Thanks!

Answer 5

I know that for the "old G.I. Bill" and the education incentives that replaced it you had 10 years from the date you left the military to use them.

Contact the GI Bill rep at the college you want to take the course at.  They are the ones that assist you with filling out and submitting your application.  You may contact the VA and speak to an education counselo as well..

Answer 6

Your GI Bill has nothing to do with passing PT tests or anything like that. Go to the GI Bill website and all the requirements are listed out very clearly.
