The Servicemen’s Readjustment Act or G.I. Bill as it’s more widely known as, was signed into legislation by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1944. The bill was created to provide World War II veterans with a number of benefits after returning home including: unemployment pay, education and home loan benefits. 

In July 2008, the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill was approved and expanded benefits for those who served at least 90 days in the military after September 10, 2001. Under the post 9/11 Bill, active-duty service men and veterans are entitled to a percentage (up to 100%) of tuition and fee payment (depending on length of time served), a monthly housing allowance, and a stipend up to $1,000 for books and fees.

Today, many benefits are available to advance the education and skills of Veterans and Servicemembers. Spouses and family members may also be eligible for education and training assistance in fact, 25% of those benefitting from VAs education programs are non-Veterans. Some might find they’re eligible for more than one benefit or that one program is more suited to certain education and training goals than another. 

To find out if you are eligible for G.I. Bill benefits, learn more below.
