About the Post 9/11 GI Bill
The Post 9/11 GI Bill was signed into law in July of 2008. This new bill created a robust education benefits program for veterans and service members that rivals the WWII Era GI Bill of Rights. The new Post 9/11 GI Bill developed education benefits for veterans and service members who served on active duty for 90 or more days on or after September 10, 2001.
The education benefits that were created with this Post 9/11 GI Bill are tiered based on the number of days served on active duty. This creates a benefit package that gives current and previously activated National Guard and Reserve members access to the same benefits as active duty service members.
