Transfer of Entitlement to Dependents (POST 9/11 GI BILL®)

An Armed Forces member (active duty or Selected Reserve) has the opportunity to transfer Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits to their spouse or dependent children after the member has served at least six years and makes an additional commitment to serve 4 more years.

After separating from the military, a veteran cannot elect new dependents to receive transferred benefits or modify the effective date of the initial transfer of entitlement to a prior date. Entitled students will receive benefits equivalent to Chapter 33 Post9/11. It includes tuition and fees paid directly to school, monthly housing allowance and book stipend based on the service member percentage of benefits and quantity of months transferred.
See Chapter 33.

Tuition and fees are paid directly to Miami Dade College
