If I have 6 months left on a Post 911 GI Bill, can I transfer it to my wife?

If, while you were on active duty, you designated your spouse access to your GI Bill benefits through milConnect, you can transfer any remaining entitlement. Unfortunately, after separation, you cannot transfer your remaining benefits to your spouse. See more information about this DoD program - https://www.va.gov/education/transfer-post-9-11-gi-bill-benefits/. Reminder - Your remaining entitlement can also be used for licenses, certifications and test.

Situation A) You are still serving, Situation B) You are no longer in. Situation 1) You have previously allocated some portion of your GI Bill to your wife Situation 2) You have not.

1A: Yes, no worries.
1B: Still yes, no worries.
2A: Yes, but you incur an Additional Duty Service Obligation (ADSO)
2B: Sorry, it can't be done.

As for yellow ribbon, it is a school based program. Each school runs it a little differently, and has different rules. As LTC Jason Mackay said, contacting the school directly is your best bet. If they have a veteran office (which if they have yellow ribbon, they probably do) is your first stop. If they do not have a veteran office, start with financial aid office.

So to answer your question, yes you can transfer 6 months of Post 9/11 to your wife. Of course you incur an ADSO. As for question 2, if you mean using it for your spouse with Yellow Ribbon, I will refer that one to someone with more knowledge. I do not believe your spouse can use Yellow Ribbon in conjunction with Post 9/11 or at all really...but again, that is not my lane.
