Certain SelectedReservists also have some eligibility under the Post-9/11 GIBill. Go to the VA’s website toread about all of the eligibilitycriteria.Early on, one of the proposedHouse of Representative changes to the New GI Bill wouldhave lengthened the time servedfrom six years to ten before atransfer request could be submitted. The follow-on commitment would have changed fromfour years down to two. However, in the final bill approvedby the House, that change wasthrown out and left at six andfour years, respectively.The Changes - The changethat did make it through theHouse and is causing quite astir, was cutting the MonthlyHousing Allowance (MHA) fora child using transferred Post9/11 GI Bill benefits in half.Under the current rule, a dependent child receives full authorized MHA based on the zipcode of the school, the numberof credits taken and tier percentage; the MHA is paid at the E-5with-dependents pay rate.Another provision approved inthe bill is a grandfather clausethat allows education benefitstransferred up to 180 days afterthe implementation date of thechanges, will be paid (or continued to be paid) at the full authorized rate and will not bereduced by half.
