Q: Hi, First I would like to thank you for making things much clearer. I've enjoyed the clarifications you've given here. And now to my questions:

1) In reading up on Post-9/11 GI Bill, I see an option of using up the old GI Bill and then qualifying for an additional 12 months under the Post 9/11 GI Bill. Do you know what will qualify a person for this? I served for over 6 years, separated and went back to school using the old GI Bill. I do have some months left.

Q: I have exhausted my MGIB and I qualify for the Post 9/11 GI Bill, but only for 12 months of benefits. My question is will 12 months of benefits be enough to finish all of my graduate degree? I will be attending a private school which participates in the Yellow Ribbon program. Their cost of tuition and fees is $12,980 a semester for 9 credit hours (full-time). The degree I will be taking requires 33 credit hours to complete.

Q: My home of record is Pennsylvania, but I am looking at going to school in Florida and living there, but not until school starts. Does this wind up counting as out-of-state tuition, and will the GI Bill cover it?

A: It more than likely will count as out-state tuition, unless Florida as a reciprocity agreement with Pennsylvania which is doubtful. Most reciprocity agreements are between bordering states.

Q: I enlisted in 2006 and took the student loan repayment program/option. By summer 2009, the last payment was made to my account. If I go green-to-gold non-scholarship option for Fall 2010, can I use the new GI Bill to help pay for school?

A: Yes you can. Plus you can get paid a $350 per month stipend for up to 10 months a year. On top of that, you get paid to attend the ROTC Advanced Camp between your junior and senior years of college.

Q: Does the GI Bill cover tuition for graduate schools overseas, specifically in the UK?

Q: My home of record is Pennsylvania, but I am looking at going to school in Florida and living there, but not until school starts. Does this wind up counting as out-of-state tuition, and will the GI Bill cover it?

A: Yes, you will have to pay out-of-state tuition. As far as if the GI bill will cover it or not, both the Montgomery GI Bill and Post 9/11 GI Bill will partially, but each pay differently. Let me explain. 

Q: Good afternoon, I'm terribly sorry to bother you as I know you're very busy. My question is just as crazy as everyone else's. Recently, I found out about this new Post 9/11 GI Bill and I'm very interested in pursuing a degree with this. Is there a way to find out how much the housing allowance portion will be that is paid to the veteran? Once again, thank you for your time and consideration.
