The GI Bill, known by its more formal name as the Servicemen's Readjustment Act, was introduced in 1944, during the third term of president Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The GI Bill allowed paid for veterans to go to school, buy a house, or start a business.
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.
