Montgomery GI Bill questions

[Hugh Heifer]

I hate this part of the forum is dying.
BUT, what do you old bastards know about the Montgomery GI Bill? I left the Army in 1995. I have read it may expire 10 years after leaving service. I used a bit of it in college but thought I had some left.
I have sent a mesage to the VA in va.gov but am guessing I am SOL.
I know post 9/11 there are more services and easier to get info but thought I would ask here if anyone knows.

Unfortunately, what you read is true. MGIB Chapter 30 is gone if unused within 10 years of discharge.

If you were discharged before January 1, 2013, your Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits expire 15 years after you separated from the military. Montgomery GI Bill benefits expire 10 years after you separate from the military. But you may qualify for an extension of these benefits. Keep reading on this...

Post 9/11 Chapter 33 has some caveats.

Post-9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33) | Veterans Affairs

The Post-9/11 GI Bill (PGIB), or Chapter 33, helps you pay for school or cover expenses while you’re training for a job. If you’ve served on active duty after September 10, 2001, you may qualify for the Post-9/11 GI Bill. Find out if you can get this education benefit.

Erroneous double post.

I was afraid of that. Thanks for the verification.
