  2. Post 9/11 GI BillBasic Eligibility Signed into law June 30, 2008 Effective August 1, 2009 Benefit level tied to length of service Full 36 months for 3 years service Prorated benefits for 90 days to 36 months Applications as of May 1, 2009 Programs other than college level (NCD, Apprenticeship/OJT)

  3. Post 9/11 GI Bill • Highest in state undergraduate tuition and fee rates (2009-10 academic year $450.67 per credit hour, fee maximum $5736.00) • Monthly housing allowance (zip code of school) • Annual book & supplies stipend ($41.67 per credit hr) • Tuition and fee payments made to institutions • Monthly housing allowance depends on credits attempted (must be enrolled at more than 51% example: “rate of pursuit” is determined by dividing number of credit hours by number of credit hours that is considered full time e.g., 7 credits divided by 12 credits = 58%) • Distance education programs

  4. Post 9/11 GI Bill • Revised 22-1999 and VA ONCE screen • Report number of credits, tuition and fee charges • VA will pay the tuition and fee charges at the billed rate (discuss flat tuition charges) • VA will use the $450.67 rate if tuition exceeds in state maximum (out of state, graduate and privates). If Yellow Ribbon agreement signed:

  5. Post 9/11 GI Bill BenefitsYellow Ribbon Program • Tuition and fees above in state maximum • Institutions may enter into annual agreement with Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) • Only for those entitled to the full 36 months • DVA matches the amount waived up to 50% • Schools must indicate number of students and at what dollar amount

  6. Chapter 33 Post 9/11 GI Bill Yellow Ribbon Program Example 1 Full time student: Big State University charges a flat tuition rate of $20,000 per semester. A student is taking 18 credit hours. The highest in state tuition rate is $450.67 per credit hour. $450.67 X 18 credits is $8,112. This is the tuition payment made by DVA to College.

  7. Yellow Ribbon-Example $20,000 minus the sum paid to college ($8,112) =$11,888 is the unmet remainder eligible for yellow ribbon. If the college agrees to the 50% level of matching funds, then $5,944 is the colleges’ share and the VA share is the same $5,944.

  8. Yellow Ribbon-Example Example 2 Part time student: A part time student at Small State University is taking 8 credits per semester. The tuition rate is $700 per credit hour. $700 X 8 is $5,600. $450.67 X 8 credits is $3,605. The difference is $1,995 in unmet charges. If the college has agreed to the 50% level then their share of the Yellow Ribbon Program is $997 and the VA the same $997.
