I have seen some people say they got in trouble for holding a job while also using the GI Bill. But I finally got an answer so now I know. Thanks!

SPC Brian Lightfoot Methinks those folks were fabricating either the trouble or the cause. Lots of people like to tell horror stories. But, just like Hollywood horror stories, the majority are not true.

You can do anything you want for a job while you're a civilian. Your BAH is only paid at a prorated portion for the time you're in school. Your BAH is paid off of your class load and the days of the month you're in class. What you do for side money has no effect on that

Your housing money from the GI Bill has nothing to do with the type of job you hold. It has to do with the number of classes you are taking. As long as you remain a full-time student, your housing stipend isn't affected. If you become a half-time, or less, student, you may lose your housing benefits for that period of time.
