Post 9/11 GI Bill Benefits (Chapter 33)
- Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits can be applied to coursework or training beginning Aug. 1, 2009. Benefits are not retroactive prior to this date.
- Veterans who served a minimum of 90 days active duty after Sept. 10, 2001 (or 30 continuous days and were discharged due to a service connected disability) are eligible.
- Three types of benefits are available to you based on your amount of active duty service:
- Tuition and Fees—This amount is the equivalent to the highest amount of in-state tuition and fees charged for a full-time, undergraduate at a public, four year institution in Ohio. Tuition and fees are paid directly to the College. (The official amount for Ohio will be documented on the http://gibill.va.gov website).
- Monthly Housing Allowance—This amount is based on the Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) calculations. The Monthly Housing Allowance is paid directly to the student after enrollment verification.
- Annual Stipend for Books and Supplies—A maximum amount of $1,000 per year based on enrollment during the school year.
- The amount of active duty service determines the maximum percentage of benefit eligibility:
| Active Duty Service after 9/10/01 | Percentage of Maximum Benefit Available |
|---|---|
| At least 36 months | 100% and eligible for Yellow Ribbon Program |
| At least 30 continuous days and discharged due to a service connected disability | 100% and eligible for Yellow Ribbon Program |
| At least 30 months but less than 36 months | 90% |
| At least 24 months but less than 30 months | 80% |
| At least 18 months but less than 24 months | 70% |
| At least 12 months but less than 18 months | 60% |
| At least 6 months but less than 12 months | 50% |
| At least 90 days but less than 6 months | 40% |
