ARE YOU ELIGIBLE? DO YOU HAVE THE FOLLOWING?

• 90 days of aggregate service on or after September 11, 2001?
• Discharged with a service-connected disability after 30 days continuous active duty?
• Exhausted your months of entitlement…or are about to exhaust your entitlement?

...if so, then you may be eligible for Chapter 33 benefits.

IF YOU ARE ELIGIBLE, HOW MUCH WILL YOU RECEIVE?

The chart below is an indication only of the percentage you may be allowed. There are many variables in how applicable active duty time is calculated. Officially applying for this new bill is the only way to find out exactly what you will receive. VA must check with Department of Defense for full service information.

REMEMBER: VA will pay tuition only for those classes that are required for graduation in your specific program of study.

IF YOU WISH TO APPLY:

Please do not be in a rush! There are many "ins" and "outs" to this new bill, and it may not be the best choice for you. Choosing Chapter 33 is an irrevocable decision. You may want to take the following steps:

• Go to www.gibill.va.gov and educate yourself as much as possible.
• Follow that up with a visit to www.military.com.
• View our Post 9/11 PowerPoint Presentation.
• If you have questions, please call the VA (1-888-442-4551) or email your questions by accessing VA's "questions and answers" at www.gibill.va.gov.

If you decide to apply, you will find an application on the www.gibill.va.gov website.

Once you have received your eligibility letter from the VA, and have finalized your class schedule each quarter, bring both documents to the Veterans Coordinator on campus for further processing.
