Chapter 33 GI Bill Now Available

The new Post 9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33) is now available for online application submission for the fall 2009 term. The VA strongly encourages those who will be applying to do so online in an effort to facilitate the process.

If you still have current GI Bill benefits, you must exhaust your current 36 months of benefits in order to receive the additional 12 months of benefits for a total of 48 months.

You can apply at: www.gibill.va.gov

After applying, you must provide the SDSU Veterans Center with a printout of your online application so that we can defer your fees and open your registration. We will ask you to sign a Promissory Note identifying that you are aware that any fees waived will be your responsibility if you are found not eligible for the new benefit.

Once you are registered in your fall classes, you must prove you have been accepted to the program by bringing your Certificate of Eligibility (which you should receive via snail mail by this time) to the Veterans Center. You will then sign a Responsibility Sheet.

We will update you as new information is provided.

Learn about the SDSU and the G.I. Bill in a local news report.
