Question by Dante Reznikov: if a soldier doesnt use army money for college can he transfer it for his families use?

As far as I know , you cannot…..However, what I would suggest to do is go to your finance office and let them let you know either way. That way you can get it straight from the source.

The link already provided explains it. But the short of it is that you must have at least four years in and re-enlist for, I believe, six years to be able to transfer it to your children and/or spouse.

9/11 GI Bill is transferable to spouse & children but there is restrictions, the AD member must have served 6 years and reenlisting for another 4, or served over 10 years and still on orders for a specific amount of time.

Yes, you can after being on active duty long enough and then commit to another four years of active duty. I have transferred my whole GI Bill to my daughter.

Yes, they can. My step-father is planning to do that so my younger brother can go to college.
