Post 9/11 GI Bill

If you have at least 90 days of aggregate active duty service after Sept. 10, 2001, and are still on active duty, or if you are an honorably discharged veteran or were discharge with a service-connected disability after 30 days, you may be eligible for this program. Some of these benefits may be passed to your dependent.

Post 9/11 Benefit Pay Rates

After completion and submission of your Vets.gov application, you will receive a letter of eligibility in the mail that will state at which percentage rate you will be paid.

At 100% pay rate:

• You will receive a monthly living stipend which can be used at your own discretion.
• : You will need to add the zip code of the location where you are attending school. Rank will always be E-5. Basic Allowance for Housing pay is the rate, E-5 with dependents.
• This amount will change and be prorated depending upon school holidays, i.e. spring break, Christmas break, etc. The VA only pays for days that SDSU is in session.
• This money is paid out on the last day of the month and is directly deposited into your bank account that was established on your Vets.gov application.

The living stipend increases every Oct. 1.

• You will also receive up to $1,000 per school year for books (school year: summer, fall and spring).
• The book stipend pays $41.67 per credit hour, so you can take your credit total times $41.67 and see what you will receive for that semester.
• This money is directly deposited into your account (same as stated above) prior to the semester's start.

If your percentage rate is less than 100%, then you will only receive your percentage rate.

• Example: (70% rate) .7 x $1218 = $852.60 (approximately), so you would receive $852.60 for a living stipend per month.
• Example: (70% rate) $41.67 x 12 credits = $500.04, then $500.04 x .7 = $350.03 (approximately), so you will receive $350.03 for that semester's book stipend.

Tuition and Fees

The VA does not pay for:

• Residence hall rooms
• Meal plans
• Parking passes
• Late fees and parking tickets
• Online remedial courses (example: 095, 093, 033)

South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã resident rate:

• If you are at 100% pay rate, all of your tuition and fees will be paid.
• If different from 100% pay rate, then tuition and fees will be paid at that percentage rate. You will be required to pay the rest of the amount.

Nonresident rate:

• Even if you are at the 100% pay rate, there is a difference between out-of-state and in-state tuition rates. You will have to pay the difference in the amount.
• Nonresident veterans can learn about residency requirements online. This may allow for nonresident veterans to get the in-state tuition rate.
