The Montgomery GI Bill Selected Reserve (MGIB-SR) program offers up to 36 months of education and training benefits. If you're a member of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps or Coast Guard Reserve, Army National Guard, or Air National Guard, you may be eligible for this benefit. Applicants must have a 6-year service obligation (they agreed to serve 6 years) in the Selected Reserve; or they are an officer in the Selected Reserve and they agreed to serve 6 years in addition to their initial service obligation. Applicants must also complete their initial active duty for training (IADT). They must also get a high school diploma or certificate of equal value, like a High School Equivalency Diploma or GED, before finishing their IADT. Applicants must also stay in good standing while serving in an active Selected Reserve unit. The monthly rate (or payment amount) will be based on these 2 factors: (A) The type of education or training the applicant is getting, and (B) How many courses they're taking-or how far along they are in your on-the-job training or apprenticeship program. A different application is used for those who already started their training. Please visit the award's website or contact the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for more information.
