EDUCATION & TRAINING

A pays benefits to eligible Service members and Veterans pursuing an approved education or training program. There are four primary VA education benefit programs that cover Active Duty, National Guard, and Reserve Service members and Veterans:

• Post-9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33)
• Montgomery GI Bill-Active Duty (Chapter 30)
• Montgomery GI Bill-Selected Reserve (Chapter 1606)
• Reserve Educational Assistance Program (REAP)

The Post-9/11 GI Bill program provides financial assistance towards tuition and fees, books, and supplies, and it provides a monthly housing allowance. Eligible Service members may transfer unused Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits to an eligible spouse or child. VA pays a monthly allowance under the other benefit programs to help offset educational costs
