HOW MUCH OF THE FULL BENEFIT RATE YOU CAN GET We base your award of benefits on how long you served on active duty and certain other factors. ELIGIBILITY FOR 100% OF POST-9/11 GI BILL

eligible for only part of the Post-9/11 GI Bill benefit. We base the percentage you’re eligible for on the total amount of time you served on active duty (with or without breaks in

you this allowance at the end of each month.  We’ll pay you a percentage of the full monthly housing allowance (called a “prorated payment”) based on these 2 factors: * The percentage of

Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits you’re eligible for, AND * How many credits you’re taking or how many clock hours you’re scheduled to attend per week NOTE: If you’re taking correspondence

training or flight training, you’re not eligible for MHA. IF YOU’RE TAKING IN-PERSON COURSES IN THE U.S.  We base your MHA on the monthly military Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) rates for

an E-5 with dependents. This is called the resident MHA. We use the 2021 rates to calculate the MHA you get between August 1, 2021, and July 31, 2022. You can use the Defense Department

(DOD) lookup tool on the Defense Travel Management Office website to find out how much money you may be eligible to receive for housing. You’ll need the zip code for your school to get

started.  Go to the Defense Travel Management Office website Find out how we determine your MHA IF YOU’RE TAKING ONLINE-ONLY COURSES OR YOU’RE AT A FOREIGN SCHOOL
