The US Veterans Administration’s GI Bill Recent Amendments

For veterans returning to college, it can be hard to keep up with all the changes made to the Veterans Administration's GI Bill. Fortunately, the US Veterans Administration keeps American veterans posted on all the changes and amendments on their website.

The most recent Veterans Administration's GI Bill changes have been effective since October 1, 2011: 

• Post 9/11 GI Bill - the changes now allow American veterans to use their Post-9/11 GI Bill for non-college degree programs, on-the-job/apprenticeship training, flight programs, and correspondence school.
• Housing Allowance - housing allowance rules have recently changed, too; now, students solely enrolled in distance education can also qualify for housing allowance.
• School Supplies Stipend - this change provides students on active duty with a stipend for books and supplies training. 

When new acts are signed into law that affect GI Bill, such as the Post-9/11 Veterans Education Assistance Improvements Act of 2010, it's important for veterans returning to college to stay informed.

If you're applying for or are already using your GI Bill, you can see what the latest updates are by visiting the US Veterans Administration website. If you create an online account with the VA, you can elect to be sent email notifications when changes are made.
