Topics include:
Explaining the difference between traditional Post-9/11 GI Bill and Veteran Readiness & Employment (VR&E) benefits? Is there any difference between what credits it will cover? How do you know if you qualify for VR&E?

For military members who paid into the Montgomery GI Bill, a recent communication said that they would receive an additional 12 months of benefits. Is this automatic or do they need to take action in order to receive these benefits?

Who should a student contact first if they are interested in switching to VR&E, to start the process? About how long, on average, does this take?

If a student's university charges for some of the following fees/ services, can they be covered by the GI Bill or VR&E? Student health insurance, parking & transportation on campus, mandatory student fees (for a recreation center, library use, printing, etc. that are tacked onto a student bill at the start of each term)?

What does the school's certifying official do? (This is a title that students hear frequently but may not understand)

Is there a stipend for textbooks?

How does the final semester work, when a student will run out of benefits midway through the term?

Is it worth it to use the benefits during the summer term? How are the benefits reduced if a summer term is half-time per the university's enrollment requirements?
