Did you know that the DoD's Post 9/11 GI Bill Transfer of Benefits (TEB) policy allows active duty service members to retain the benefits they transferred to their spouse and children when they are Force Shaped or RIF'd, but not if they are involuntarily separated because they didn't get promoted? We all know that the military has several types of boards that make staying in difficult, but the only one that does not allow you to keep your TEB benefits is the promotion board. I have an active petition out now to the Chairman of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee (who is also my representative) to advocate a clarification of the policy. Please sign and share (active duty can sign as well as private citizens per regulations).

I am in this boat of BS. I was RIF'd at 24 years as an O3E because I was not going to make the rank of Major. I tried to transfer my GI Bill, but was denied because I didn't do 4 more year??? How can I do for more years when forced out? I know this post is old, but I just ran across it. I still need anybody's help on this matter. I have two kids in college now.
