If I'm not mistaken the money from the Montgomery GI Bill is what can be passed down to your spouse and/or child(ren). If I'm correct, where can I go to see how much is left(whether searching online or an actual person)?

You can go to two places - VA and milConnect.

The easiest (if it was working) is to log into the VA's website and check on your benefits*, however the database has been down for a couple of weeks now.

The second way with the VA is just to call an educational counselor at the GI Bill hotline [login to see] ). They will have access to your record and can give you all the details.

Another way is to log into your milConnect account* and check under the 'benefits' tab for "Transfer Education Benefits". This should have all your dependents in DEERS as well as your remaining post 9/11 GI Bill benefits shown.

The amount you’ll receive depends on these factors:

Your length of service, and
The type of education or training program you choose, and
Your category (I, II, III, or IV), and
Whether you qualify for a college fund or kicker, and
How much you’ve paid into the $600 Buy-Up program
Learn more about the $600 Buy-Up program
Note: You usually have 10 years to use your MGIB-AD benefits. This may change depending on your situation.
