The total benefit you qualify for depends on how much active service you’ve had since September 10, 2001, which is then calculated based on the maximum benefit.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs offers the GI Bill Comparison Tool
to help you find out how much you may be eligible to receive. To see the range of possible benefits, answer a few questions about your military status and service, the type of institution and school you plan to attend, as well as whether you plan to take classes in person or online.
The GI Bill Comparison Tool provides key information about college affordability. It also includes the number of students receiving VA educational benefits at each school.
