Post 9/11 GI Bill® Transferability

Spouses of military men and women can achieve a dream career with an online education at Waldorf.

Eligible military men and women may transfer 36 months or the portion of unused Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefits to their spouses and children to help them reach their educational goals at Waldorf. Family members must be enrolled in the Defense Eligibility Enrollment Reporting System and be eligible for benefits at the time of transfer to receive transferred benefits.

Eligible military personnel also must meet the following criteria:

• Has at least six years of service in the armed forces (active duty and/or selected Reserve) on the date of approval and agrees to serve four additional years in the armed forces from the date of election.
• Has at least 10 years of service in the armed forces (active-duty and/or selected Reserve) on the date of approval, is precluded by either standard policy (by service branch or Department of Defense) or statute from committing to four additional years, and agrees to serve for the maximum amount of time allowed by such policy or statute.
• Is or becomes retirement-eligible and agrees to serve an additional four years of service on or after Aug. 1, 2012. A servicemember is considered retirement-eligible if he or she has completed 20 years of active federal service or 20 qualifying years as computed (pursuant to section 12732 of title 10 U.S.C.).
• Transfer requests are submitted and approved while the member is in the armed forces.
