GI Bill Transfer Protocol Established

The Defense Department has clarified procedures service members can use to transfer their Post 9/11 GI Bill education benefits to eligible family members. Beginning June 29, they can log into a new Web site — https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/TEB/ — and register family members’ names, and the length of time they want to authorize those beneficiaries to use the benefits. Service members can transfer their 36 months of education benefits to a spouse or children, providing they are enrolled in the Defense Eligibility Enrollment Reporting System (DEERS). The new GI Bill takes effect August 1, and is open to anyone serving on active duty or the Selected Reserve on or after that date.
