Can an enlisted ARNG cadet receive both the SMP kicker and the GI Bill kicker? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/can-an-enlisted-arng-cadet-receive-both-the-smp-kicker-and-the-gi-bill-kicker <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My son is enlisted in the ARNG and qualified for the GI Bill Kicker. He is also in Army ROTC at college and planning to contract non-scholarship this spring. I see there is an SMP kicker also. We are wondering if he can use his Ch 1606 GI Bill ($397) with his enlistment contracted GI Bill kicker ($350), but then also receive the SMP kicker ($350) once that is setup. No one seems to be able to answer this question in his ROTC unit or ARNG unit. <br />My own research seems to point to the GI Bill kicker not being valid any longer per NGB Form 594-1 &quot;Upon acceptance into SMP, I am not eligible to continue in the ARNG Incentive Program.&quot;<br /><br />Any thoughts?

Since Veterans Administration runs GI Bill program, one of its counselors may be able to answer your question about it LTC Eugene Chu Wed, 09 Sep 2020 12:04:15 -0400 2020-09-09T12:04:15-04:00 Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Sep 9 at 2020 12:06 PM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/can-an-enlisted-arng-cadet-receive-both-the-smp-kicker-and-the-gi-bill-kicker?n=6294746&urlhash=6294746 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If I remember correctly the SMP kicker is meant to replace the GI kicker SFC Private RallyPoint Member Wed, 09 Sep 2020 12:06:31 -0400 2020-09-09T12:06:31-04:00 Response by 1LT Kevin Chapman made Sep 9 at 2020 1:01 PM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/can-an-enlisted-arng-cadet-receive-both-the-smp-kicker-and-the-gi-bill-kicker?n=6294951&urlhash=6294951 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I’ve actually never heard of an SMP kicker. I was a non-scholarship cadet as well that was SMP. I received my GI Bill monthly and the $450 stipend from ROTC monthly. 1LT Kevin Chapman Wed, 09 Sep 2020 13:01:54 -0400 2020-09-09T13:01:54-04:00 2020-09-09T11:57:45-04:00
