New GI Bill
Benefits under the New GI Bill (Post-9/11 GI Bill) are the most generous since those of the original GI Bill in 1944. However, there are several recent changes to this program that may affect tuition assistance and expand the number of programs that qualify for assistance. Also, VA will no longer pay benefits between school terms.
