Post-9/11 GI Bill Statement of Benefits

If you were awarded Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits, your GI Bill Statement of Benefits will show you how much of your benefits you’ve used and how much you have left to use for your education or training. These education benefits can help cover some or all of the costs for school or training. You’ll be able to view this benefit statement only if you were awarded education benefits.

Am I eligible to use this tool?

You may be eligible to use this tool if you meet all of these requirements.

Both of these must be true:

  • You applied for Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits, and
  • You got a decision from us on your application

Note: At this time, the GI Bill benefit statement isn’t available online to family members and dependents. You’ll need to request a copy of your education decision letter by mail to check your GI Bill benefit status.

What benefits information will I be able to check?

In your Post-9/11 GI Bill Statement of Benefits, you can check:

  • If you have any Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits
  • How many months of benefits you have left (called “remaining entitlement”)
  • How much time you have left to use these benefits

What if I can’t access my Statement of Benefits?

Your Post-9/11 GI Bill Statement of Benefits might not be available if 1 of these is true:

  • The name on the account you’re signed in with doesn’t exactly match the name we have in our Post-9/11 GI Bill records.
  • We’re still processing your education benefits application, so we haven’t created a record yet for you. We usually process applications within 30 days. If you applied less than 30 days ago, please check back soon.
  • You haven’t applied yet for Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits.
