Here are the most asked questions about the Post-9/11 GI Bill.

1. Question: Who is eligible?

Answer: You’re eligible if you served a minimum of 90 days on active duty after Sept. 10, 2001. This covers active duty served as a member of the Armed Forces or as a result of a call or order to active duty from a reserve component (National Guard and Reserve) under certain sections of Title 10.

The following types of reserve/guard duty count toward qualification for the Post 9/11 GI Bill:

• All Title 10 active duty supporting named contingency operations
• Title 32 service for the purpose of organizing, administering, recruiting, instructing, or training the National Guard
• Title 32 service under section 502(f) for the purpose of responding to a national emergency
• All voluntary active duty, with the exception of active duty for medical care and medical evaluation
• Title 10 service under 502(f): Title 10 service under 12301(h) for the purpose of receiving service-related medical care
• A reservist who receives a Purple Heart for service occurring on or after September 11, 2001.
• Service under 12304, 12304a, and 12304b orders, mobilization to provide assistance in response to a major disaster or emergency or for preplanned missions in support of combatant commands
