The major difference in your benefits is the addition of the Post 9/11 GI Bill, which in most cases is a better option than other educational benefits such as the Montgomery GI Bill.

Listed here are the differences between these two Bills mentioned above.

The Post 9/11 Bill will pay directly to the school you select all tuition and fees up to the cost of the most expensive state Institution of Higher Education of the Sate the school you select resides.

You will also receive a stipend of up to $1,000 for books annually.

The Post 9/11 Bill is the best choice on paper, as the allowance you will get exceeds the monthly paid $1321 authorized by the Montgomery GI Bill, but other factors will come into play.

One thing to keep in mind is that in some states the cost of tuition and board is less than the $1,321 allowance you get monthly under the Montgomery Bill. This could make it your best choice.

There are also States that have Colleges that do not charge Veterans tuition, and this might also make the Montgomery Bill more appropriate.

You will have more options due to the Post 9/11 GI Bill, but you have to do research to choose the right school.

You will only have one chance to make the correct selection between the two Bills, and once you make that choice you can not change your mind.

The easiest way to make the right choice is to contact Military friendly schools within the Sate that you want to attend classes, and allow them to help you pick the Bill that will pay you the most benefits.
