How Do I Find Out About My Transferred GI Bill Benefits?

If your husband has had enough active duty time (that is, deployment time) to be eligible for the new Post 9/11 GI Bill, and he was still in the Guard when he made the transfer, then he could have transferred benefits to you. To find out whether the transfer of educational benefits is complete, you need to contact the VA via their toll-free number, 1-888-442-4551. If you are ready to use the benefits, apply for the educational program you want to go to, and speak to the university’s financial aid or veterans’ affairs office about applying for the GI Bill. This will involve you going to the VONAPP page on the VA web-site to fill out the on-line application.
