Effective August 1, 2009, the Post-9/11 GI Bill brings new benefits and improves upon some of the outdated features of the Montgomery GI Bill. The GI Bill, often called the best piece of legislation passed by the U.S. government, has been revamped a few times since it was first passed in 1944. President Franklin D. Roosevelt first signed the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act, or the GI Bill of Rights, into law. Only three years later in 1947, veterans accounted for a full 49 percent of college admissions. The original GI Bill was such a success that by the time it ended in 1956, 7.8 million of the 16 million World War II veterans had taken advantage of it.
Since then, each new GI Bill is better and proves Roosevelt’s assertion that the GI Bill “gives emphatic notice to the men and women in our armed forces that the American people do not intend to let them down.”

i heard there is a website you can apley on to get paid faster from your gi bill is this true? cause i apleed probly less then a month ago and have been going to school for like 5 weeks now if any one knows any thing please let me know !!!
Gerry, no there isn’t a website that will pay you quicker. The VA had an Advance Payment Website open for awhile why they were trying to get caught up on payments, but it was just an advance and now they are collecting it back. Right now, it is taking the VA about 10-20 weeks to make payments, so just be patient.
Really like this post, thanks for writing.
I just happen to stumble on this blog and it is a properly written article, a little bit on the long end, but a pretty acceptable one.
I definetly adore the layout too, it is very easy to navigate.
