Its your GI Bill. You should be able to do anything you want with it.

"encourages the retention of individuals in the armed forces"

Earlier this year, the Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission recommended limiting transfer eligibility to troops who serve at least 10 years and sign up for at least two more. (Not a fan of only 2 more years of service, though)

They argued that such a move would "better focus transferability on career service members," the original goal of allowing the benefits to be shared.

That's the intent of the Post-9/11 GI Bill Transfer...no issues.

Looks like I need to go ahead and transfer my GI Bill to my wife before they change the rules again.

I wish they would just stop making the changes as they go. I transferred mine to my spouse and she was able to complete her Bachelors and Masters.
To me it was the least I could do for her, after enduring 4 deployments , a tour as a Recruiter and one as a DS.
By transferring the GI bill to my spouse we save ourselves from being in student loan debt.
The true question here is how much of this benefit go unclaimed?
It seems to me that now that the Government has to actually pay they are reneging on their promise.
