If using the post 9/11 GI Bill to cover out of state tuition, does the time spent in that state count towards residency?

I have about 1.5 years remaining on my GI Bill and want to transfer to a University in a state I'm not currently a resident of. The post 9/11 GI Bill will cover the increased out of state tuition costs, but will the 1.5 years I spend there count towards residency in that state? (assuming the state requires 12 months to be considered a resident). Allowing me to (after my benefits expire) pay in state tuition out of pocket to finish my degree.

How could going to school on GI Bill count towards gaining in-state residency? Just to get a driver's license in most states, you need to prove you intend to remain by signing a lease, buying a house, having utilities in your name, etc. The major reason for higher tuition is applied to out-of-state students is due to the assumption that you will graduate and return to your state of residency, or possibly elsewhere, for work. In other words, you most likely will not be subject to the tax system of the host state and will not benefit the state in the economic long-term.
