How long do you have to use a gi bill?

On the old Montgomery GI Bill, the limit is 10 years after your last day in service. On the new Post 9/11 GI Bill, the limit is 15 years. You can request to change from the Montgomery to the Post 9/11 GI Bill, and the limit will change to 15 years. There are advantages to both systems however, depending on your situation. Don't change over blindly, do your homework. I read up on it a bit, and decided to stick with the old Montgomery system. The Post 9/11 GI Bill provides BAH to students attending full time, but your classes have to be on campus, not on-line. There's a catch to everything.

How did the passage of the GI Bill ultimately result in the baby boom?

The passage of the GI Bill in 1944 provided returning World War II veterans with benefits such as low-interest home loans, education funding, and job training, facilitating their reintegration into civilian life. This economic support enabled many veterans to purchase homes and start families, leading to a surge in birth rates. The combination of increased financial stability and a societal focus on family life contributed to the baby boom phenomenon in the post-war era. Ultimately, the GI Bill played a crucial role in shaping the demographic landscape of the United States during the late 1940s and 1950s.
