The GI Bill of Rights has been heralded as one of the most significant pieces of legislation ever produced by the federal government. The original bill officially titled the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, was an omnibus bill that imparted military spouse benefits to World War II veterans in the form of providing college or vocational education. Congress, in 2008 approved an extension of benefits to the then existing bill for military veterans serving since September 11, 2001. The present GI Bill, now renamed the Post 9-11 GI Bill, contains greatly expanded benefits, including full cost of education in any public college in the beneficiary's state of residence. In addition, the benefits include housing allowance and USD 1,000 a year stipend for books.
Military serving personnel and their families, including military veterans still have many questions regarding the revised benefits contained in the Post 9-11 GI Bill.
