GI Bill
The GI Bill, officially known as the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944, is a U.S. law that provides various benefits to eligible military veterans. It primarily offers financial assistance for education, housing, and unemployment, helping veterans transition to civilian life. The bill has evolved over the years, expanding its benefits to include funding for college tuition, vocational training, and home loans.
One of the most significant updates to the GI Bill is the Post-9/11 GI Bill, which specifically supports veterans who served after September 10, 2001. This version covers the full cost of in-state tuition and fees at public colleges and universities, along with a monthly housing allowance and a stipend for books and supplies.
