Montgomery GI Bill Active Duty (MGIB-AD) Chapter 33
You can get benefits through MGIB-AD if you served at least 2 years on active duty and you meet all of these requirements.
All of these must be true:
You were honorably discharged, and
You have a high school diploma, GED, or 12 hours of college credit, and
You meet other requirements
Note: If you have only 1 period of service that begins on or after August 1, 2011, and you start receiving payments for MGIB-AD, you may lose your eligibility for the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
You can get help deciding which education benefits to use by calling us at 888-442-4551. We’re here Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. ET. If you have hearing loss, call TTY: 711.
