what do you want to know?

SO was mentioning if he waiting till aftet this deployment he would have more to transfer to me and or he would get additional money for himself to use for school

this is not true-

the GI bill can only be transferred if the member has served 6 yrs and commits to 4 more-
if he is a reservist they have different rules

the amount transferrable is 36 months MAX- no matter how much time he has in-

the max payable per yr is 14 or 17,000 -

if he paid into the montgomery GI bill he needs to transfer to the Post 9/11 bill before he can transfer it to you.

if he is AD you will not get the housing allowance= and will get an additional 1,000 a yr for books.

here is the link to the gi bill website:

Double check into the monthly stipend. DD is using DH's GI Bill and she receives a check each month and he's AD.

It is a pretty simple procedure. You DH logs onto a website and checks for qualification. If he qualifysmthen he designates how many months he wants to sign over to you. Once thismismdone and approved then the VA will send you a certificate. You turn this certificate into the cahsier's office/person handling VA benefits at the college you selected.
