On November 11th (Veteran’s Day), President Obama signed into law the Military Spouse Residency Relief Act that will allow military spouses the option of choosing a state of residency alongside their active duty service member. The guidelines and regulations still need to be laid out, but here’s a decent overview of what this new legislation will mean for you.

Everyone’s been waiting with bated breath for the launch of the Post 9-11 GI Bill. Before the transferability rules were released, I know people who delayed their retirement from the military to make sure their bases were covered. Until August 1st, rumours and all kinds of bad information were swirling around. Everyone was confused about who was eligible, what could be transferred, how to do it, etc…. The VA stood up a fantastic website. Go there for all you ever wanted to know about the program and more. It’s a great website, but we were hearing from a lot of people who were slogging through all the information looking for a clear, concise guide to the nuts and bolts of the program. So, we have been working frantically to finish this amazing little eBook on the Post 9-11 GI Bill. It’s finally done and you can see it for yourself at www.moaa.org/gibill.
I may be biased, but I think this is the most easy to read information I’ve seen on the Post 9-11 GI Bill. Download the eBook for your own use, share it with friends, post it on your blogs, whatever you need to do to get the information out there. If you have more information once you go through the eBook, join us for a webinar on August 25 at Noon EST led by MOAA’s Deputy Director for Financial Education, Phil Dyer. If you think you’re interested, register now because spaces are limited. I hope you’ll let us know what you think. Share your questions or comments with us so we can address them. Thanks.
