If the Service meber earned the benefit in accordance with policy, then yes!

So when you say "EARNED the benefit", what is your take? Because I have both the Montgomery GI bill, and the Post 9/11 GI bill available to me! Since I was medically retired, I have the option for VR&E through the VA as well. With that being said, I know that in order to use VR&E, you have to give the VA 1 month of your GI bill, after that you can still use the rest of it. If I use VR&E, I wanted to give my GI Bill to my wife, so she can get her RN! Make sense? I just didn't know if there was some loop hole anyone knew about in regards to transferring it when you were Med Ret.

They are allowed to. As long as they made the transfer, and I was approved, the remaining 4 year requirement is waived once the SM is separated.

Oh Wow. Thanks SFC (Join to see) . Would you by chance know who I need to talk to about this. I am interested in my wife getting my GI bill, because she wants to do Nursing. I went on my GOV account, and looked at my transfer status, but it said all my dependents were not eligible. I was medically Retired at 5 years 8 mo of service!

See, that is what I am talking about. There shouldn't be a requirement on time if someone is medically retired. It was not my fault. So, I am wondering if there are ways to circumvent the situation. Loop holes so to speak, something not advertised that only a few people know about. Who better to ask than Rally Point!

SGT Aaron P. - it was an incentive to encourage continued service, not an entitlement. It's transferabilty is set by law
