You will need to get a copy of your eligibility statement but other than that, they will usually do all of the necessary paperwork because they want to get paid. I transferred my GI bill to my youngest son and he used it to get his degree. First step is pick a school and call them and tell them you are planning to use GI Bill and they will hook you upResponse by LTC Private RallyPoint Member made Feb 25 at 2020 3:52 PM2020-02-25T15:52:04-05:002020-02-25T15:52:04-05:00LTC Eugene Chu5599946<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Check how much active duty time that you have accrued when you apply. GI Bill eligibility for reserves usually requires 90+ days of activated service (Not counting initial basic training or AIT)<br /><br /><a target="_blank" href="https://www.benefits.va.gov/gibill/post911_gibill.asp">https://www.benefits.va.gov/gibill/post911_gibill.asp</a> <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default">
