POST-9/11 VETERANS EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE ACT OF 2008
DEFINITIONS USED:
-
An "IHL" or "institution of higher learning" (in general) is a state-approved institution offering postsecondary level academic instruction that leads to an associate or higher degree.
-
"Rate of pursuit" is the number of credits you’re taking divided by the number of credits considered full-time by your school (rounded to the nearest tenth).
Because there are so many variables which determine the benefits a person is entitled to under the new GI Bill, there are no general rules beyond the fact that there are three main benefits (a tuition and fees payment, a housing allowance, and a stipend for books and supplies). As a result, I think the best way to present the information is by using the categories Congress created in the January 2011 amendments (Public Law 111-377).
