GI Bill Time Limit? Yes!

-- GI Bill Tip #3

Your MGIB benefits are not unlimited--there are deadlines for using your GI Bill. Once a service member becomes a civilian (with an honorable discharge), there is a ten-year limit on to take advantage of this program, in routine cases. After that ten-year period, you are no longer eligible for the GI Bill education benefit People who miss out on the GI Bill often regret it later.

The MGIB will pay for on-the-job training or refresher programs, if they meet the right requirements! Exceptions to the ten-year rule? Those with service-connected disabilities are often eligible for exceptions or extended deadlines. It's the student's responsibility to submit requests for extensions and paperwork to take advantage of GI Bill education benefits. It's best to get expert advice from your nearest VA representative.
