Post 9/11 CH 33, Transfer of Benefits TO Dependent/Spouse DESCRIPTION

A special provision of the Post-9/11 G.I. Bill® program allows career Service members the option of sharing their education benefits with immediate family members. If service members are eligible for the Post-9/11 G.I. Bill® program, they can use the Transfer of Education Benefits (TEB) page in milConnect to request a transfer of their DoD educational benefits to spouse and or dependents.  BEFORE you do the milconnect process - check out the below Step by Step Guide, it's all self help now. 

Step by Step Guide for TEB

• Service Member must be eligible for GI Bill Ch. 33

• Service members can transfer up to 36 months of unused education benefits to their eligible dependents.

• If service members have already used some of their benefits, they can transfer what they have not used.

• Service members can initiate a transfer of education benefit months to their dependents (the student) while they are on Active Duty. After a service member separates or retires, they can only reallocate those months that were transferred while on Active Duty unless a dependent to whom the service member allocated benefits passes away and they have other eligible dependents.

• Service members will incur a 4 year service obligation from the date they submit the request. This may mean you need authorization from your Commander to extend or re-enlist to cover that service obligation.
