The Post-9/11 GI BIll
We are keeping our promise to America’s student veterans using the Post-9/11 GI Bill through this new legislation, enabling them to stay in the school of their choice.”
— Chairman Jeff Miller
Education and Training Pays Big
The original GI Bill was introduced just before the end of World War II and provided returning servicemembers the opportunity to get an education to help them begin a new career after leaving the military. This commitment to ensuring that veterans receive the educational benefits they deserve has been modified several times over the past half century, including the Montgomery GI Bill and the Post-9/11 GI Bill. The Restoring GI Bill Fairness Act of 2011, was enacted into law in August of 2011. This change kept student veterans enrolled in the school of their choice by temporarily restoring the original Post-9/11 GI Bill method of paying tuition and fees based on the maximum in-state, undergraduate fee schedule.
The GI Bill remains one of the most important benefits that our veterans receive for their time in the service. Our warfighters are our most valuable assets, and there is no reason this should not remain the case when they step back in to civilian life. By providing them with an excellent education, the GI Bill helps them acquire the skills needed to obtain employment and remain valuable members of society.
