I currently have about six months left on my post 9-11 GI bill. Am I able to take part in the Forever GI bill?

Elimination of 15-year Limitation to use the Post-9/11 GI Bill Program
The law removes the time limitation for the use of Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits for individuals whose last discharge or release from active duty is on or after January 1, 2013, children of deceased Service members who first become entitled to Post-9/11 GI Bill program benefits on or after January 1, 2013, and all Fry spouses.
All others remain subject to the current 15-year time limitation for using their Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits.

Forever just means that it doesn't expire after 15 years anymore. It's not a separate bill

You mean extend your time or get a new award. Contact your School Vet Center.. but I would read US code (law) and VA regs (implementation of the law) first.
