ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. -- On April 16, 2024 the Supreme Court of the United States came to the decision that if a military member has served at least two periods of service, one that qualifies for the Montgomery GI Bill and another that qualifies for the Post-9/11 GI Bill, additional GI Bill benefits may be received.

VA will review and determine your education benefit eligibility only after you submit a claim. To submit a claim, complete the VA Form 22-1995. Be sure to select that you are requesting a Rudisill review on page two of the online application. Once VA has received and evaluated your claim, you will receive an official decision.

If you are approved, your new delimiting date will be calculated based upon when you apply. If you are not ready to use your benefits, you are encouraged to wait until you are ready to prevent your benefits from expiring before you are able to use them.
The deadline to receive a new expiration date recalculation is October 1, 2030. After October 1, 2030, a Veteran can still submit a claim for benefits; however, the normal delimiting date calculation rules will apply.
