Montgomery GI Bill for Selected Reserve (MGIB-SR) - Chapter 1606
To qualify for this benefit you must have received a "Notice of Basic Eligibility" after
signing a six-year obligation to serve in the Selected Reserve or National Guard.
MGIB-SR eligibility is straightforward for most veterans, but it can be complex for
others. If you have questions about MGIB-SR eligibility, check with your Education Center, or
call the VA toll-free education number, 1-888-GI Bill-1 (1-888-442-4551). You may also get
information at the VA Education Service website
http://www.gibill.va.gov.
The MGIB-SR will pay you to help cover a portion of your education related expenses. For
example, in 2008 a full time student will receive up to $317 a month.
