The passage of the Post 9/11 GI Bill was a hard fought and long awaited victory for servicemembers and veterans. Giving nearly 500,000 veterans this year the opportunity for a first class future, the New GI Bill will shape a generation and invest in the future of this nation.
However, our work is not done. The application process is complicated and many of its provisions are nuanced. Nearly half a million veterans are taking advantage of the New GI Bill this year alone and many veterans in will have questions about their benefits. IAVA is continuing our commitment to America’s veterans, by launching the most comprehensive GI Bill resource on the web at www.newgibill.org.
