Hello! I am trying to find out how much actual benefits I still have. I started using my GI Bill 2.5 years ago. I am graduating soon with my Bachelors and want to move on with my Masters. How can I find out my remaining balance or what I still have available? Thank You! — Tabitha R.

Congratulations on your upcoming graduation!

The easy way to check on your remaining time left on your GI Bill is to check your monthly statement from the VA. If you can’t find that statement, or haven’t been getting them, or can’t find the time balance on it, then the best way is to call the VA at their toll-free GI Bill number, 1-888-442-4551.
