So it looks like the new GI Bill was passed.. just waiting for the President to sign it. So, if it is finally approved, I read the new bill was to allow dependents to use portions of it too, anyone know the actual stipulations of that???

Transfer benefits to families

Currently: Limited - Currently Limited to Army for Critical MOS only.
New GI Bill: Yes - Although the details are still to be released.

I heard on the news that its the plan with a certain % for those that have served 6 years or more and a little higher % for 12 years or more. But they wont be able to tranfer 100%.

But I just read that last link and it said that they have to pay the difference for masters or grad work...What if you find a school that fits in that price range?
