Benefit Levels are Changing August 1
VA pays Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits at different rates (known as benefit levels) based on length of service. Effective August 1, 2020, the 40% benefit level is eliminated, and the 60% benefit level is expanded for the Post-9/11 GI Bill program.
DID YOU KNOW? As this change goes into effect on August 1, 2020, eligible Veterans can use the GI Bill Comparison Tool to determine the entitlement they can receive for their education, training, and housing.
View the VA postcard below as a starting point to research education and training options available to you as a GI Bill beneficiaries.
