LEGISLATION UPDATE There is still pending legislation that may affect the Post 9/11 GI Bill and TEB. While these bills have not been passed yet, they could seriously impact benefits that Soldiers and Dependents may receive. House Resolution (HR) 3016 was passed in February and sent to the Senate but is not yet scheduled for a vote. If passed and enacted, the bill could affect the following: Cuts the MHA in half for children using transferred benefits (HR3016 only) Adds Tit...le 10, Section 12304a and 12304b as qualifying service. HR3016 would apply 180 days after enactment, S2921 is retroactive Adds the ability for Soldiers who lost CH1607 eligibility to elect for Post 9/11 (S2921 only) The MHA change would apply to anyone who does not transfer prior to the law's enactment date. So it is even more important that we counsel Soldiers to TEB as soon as they become eligible and to transfer benefit months to all of their dependents. See more
