The Post-9/11 GI Bill, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs

Aloha Post 9/11 GI Bill students - FYI

Happy GI Bill New Year!

The calendar year for the Post-9/11 GI Bill begins August 1st. This means a few things for Post-9/11 GI Bill students.

August 1st is the day updated Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) rates go into effect. The Post-9/11 GI Bill MHA is based on the military's Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) rates for an E-5 with dependents. The Department of Defense adjusts the military BAH rate every calendar year on January 1st based on changes to housing costs across the country. Rates can either go up or down. If the BAH increased for your area, you will see it reflected in your September MHA payment. If the BAH decreased for your area, your MHA will not decrease unless you change schools or have more than a six-month break in training.

If you are attending a private school that was capped at $18,077.50 last year, your cap goes up on August 1st to $19,198.31 for the year.

The clock restarts on your book/supplies stipend on August 1st as well. If you took 24 credit hours throughout the fall and spring and then attended summer (wow! Don’t you ever slow down?), you may not have received summer book money. On August 1st you’ll be able to get the book stipend again.

3 more days until Term 1 online interim registration begins!
Classes offered are: BIOL 1000; ECON 2015, GEOG 2000, HUM 1000, MGMT 1000, & PSCI 3200. Send us an email at [email protected] and we'll be more than happy to review your degree plan and determine your remaining classes. Aloha!
