Can I apply for MGIB benefits if I am still on active duty but seperating in a few months?

Hey tim,

You can apply at any time but they won't begin paying you until the day after your final ETS date.

If you have not done so yet, I encourage you to apply for the Post 9/11. This is a bit of a process but it pays quite a bit more in most cases.

I run a vets group at my college and this is the website for the college we created to ensure each vet understand and can obtain their benefits. Feel free to use it to assist you in your transition: http://provost.tufts.edu/institutionalresearch/veterans/

If you have any further questions, send me a private message and we can figure out a time to chat.

Morgan
