Hey y’all,

    I’m currently in the GA Air National Guard, and I used the ch 1606 MGIB throughout my undergrad. I’m starting Law School in the fall, and my cert of eligibility says that I have 12 months of benefits left “at the full time institutional rate”.

    The law school program I’m attending is a part time program where I take classes in the evenings, totaling to around 11 credit hours per semester. I understand that my GI Bill monthly payments will be reduced since I’m only enrolled part time.

    My question is: If I’m attending part time classes, will I still lose a full month of eligibility for every month I attend, or will they also prorate the eligibility I use up similar to how they prorate what I’m paid?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

      No, both your pay and entitlement is per the Rate of Training. So if your rate of training is 1/2 time for a 4 month semester, you only use up 2 months of entitlement
