I found that checking multiple sources helped, but ultimately the VA site had the primary source. It took phone calls to get clarification on some things though. The application and using benefits is not too difficult, it's just getting in touch with a proactive school rep to link them up with your program that's tricky. I've talked to frustrated vets that ended up dealing with those "military friendly" schools that usually just end up being a diploma mill...

SPC Joshua Heath, the RallyPoint careers and education team wrote up a pretty detailed blog post about the GI Bill and benefits if that is helpful for you or for others that you know. Feel free to share it!

There is another about educational benefits too!

Thank you! I am working on a project for veterans benefits, and I wanted to have an idea of where people were going for their details. By the way, Rallypoint has been an amazing resource in general for me already.
