Post 9/11 GI Bill Basic Eligibility Signed into law June 30, 2008 Effective August 1, 2009 Benefit level tied to length of service Full 36 months for 3 years service Prorated benefits for 90 days to 36 months Programs other than college level excluded

Post 9/11 GI Bill Highest in state undergraduate tuition and fees Monthly housing allowance (zip code of school) Annual book & supplies stipend ($41.67 per credit hour) Tuition and fee payments made to institutions Monthly housing allowance depends on credits attempted (must be enrolled at more than 51% example: “rate of pursuit” is determined by dividing number of credit hours by number of credit hours that is considered full time e.g., 7 credits divided by 12 credits = 58%) Distance education programs

Post 9/11 GI Bill Institutions report number of credits, tuition and fee charges VA will pay the tuition and fee charges at the billed rate VA used New Jersey $ rate, if tuition exceeds in state maximum (out of state, graduate and privates) If Yellow Ribbon agreement signed:

Post 9/11 GI Bill Yellow Ribbon Program Tuition and fees above in state maximum Institutions may enter into annual agreement with Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) Only for those entitled to the full 36 months DVA matches the amount waived up to 50% NEW Schools only submit changes from previous MOU

Chapter 33 Post 9/11 GI Bill Yellow Ribbon Program Example 1 Full time student: Big State University charges a flat tuition rate of $20,000 per semester. A student is taking 18 credit hours. The highest in state tuition rate is $ per credit hour. $ X 18 credits is $8,436. This is the tuition payment made by DVA to College

Yellow Ribbon-Example $20,000 minus the sum paid to college ($8,436) =$11,564 is the unmet remainder eligible for yellow ribbon. If the college agrees to the 50% level of matching funds, then $5,782 is the colleges’ share and the VA share is the same $5,782.

Yellow Ribbon-Example Example 2 Part time student: A part time student at Small State University is taking 8 credits per semester. The tuition rate is $700 per credit hour. $700 X 8 is $5,600. $ X 8 credits is $3,749. The difference is $1,851 in unmet charges. If the college has agreed to the 50% level then their share of the Yellow Ribbon Program is $925 and the VA the same $925.
