Is the military going start allowing spouses to use the GI Bill?

I heard from a friend that her bf was told by his recruiter that the military is going to start allowing military spouses to use the GI Bill starting in August. But if you fail any of your classes they'd make you pay it back.



Have you guys heard anything about that? If so how much of it will they pay?Is the military going start allowing spouses to use the GI Bill?http://www.military.com/money-for-school鈥?/a>

none of the Branches have determined whether or not they will participate. If the do, congress has mandated that minimum requirements include:



the SM must have served or committed to ten years

They will forfeit the BAH payment

they will forfeit any SRB

up to 50% of the funds may be transferred to dependents( and if more than one dependent gets it it is split with a Max payout of 50%).



Each branch can choose to add additional requirements on top of these.Is the military going start allowing spouses to use the GI Bill?My understanding is that service member must have 10 years of service and agree to serve 4 more years for spouse to use GI bill. Start date is in AugustIs the military going start allowing spouses to use the GI Bill?
Um idk about the other branches but as of right now the Marine spouses/dependants are allowed to use their husbands GI bill ONLY after 8 years of active duty service



*thats funny how I got a thumbs down and Im using my hubs GI bill for school since his 8 year mark was up months ago... Hm. Makes me laughIs the military going start allowing spouses to use the GI Bill?Its more than 50%, it is all or nothing. Once the service members decides to transfer the GI Bill to his dependents, he can't not use it themselves or ask for it back. However, when they go to switch it over they do not need to say who they are giving it to persay.



I know this because my husband is a Career Counselor and he had to attend the training for this to get all the facts clear since it will be your career counselor that you will need to see about getting this transferred. There are also some other regulations and rules but we are looking forward to transferring it all over to me and our daughters.



Not sure how much I will use since I only have a 1 1/2 years left of school but our daughters will have the chance to use it.Is the military going start allowing spouses to use the GI Bill?
It does not start until Aug 09, each branch has yet to state whether or not they will offer it.



The AD member must have been in service after 9/11, served 10 years or in 6 years and reenlisting for another 4. With give up part of the SRB if one is offered for this. So if they are a new recruit forget it. Usually AD members must serve 2 years before they can use it anyway. How much is available to get transferred to spouses is yet to be determined as well, so far 50% has been what most are saying. You will not get BAH while in school that is only for military member.



Failing class not sure on but I know with Tuition assistance that is one rule they do have.
