Family members of 20-year career service members (spouses and children) who receive transferred GI Bill benefits would get access to up to 72 months of education funding instead of 36. This could cover full college tuition for multiple children in a family or allow a spouse to pursue an advanced degree, significantly reducing out-of-pocket education costs.
“72 months for an individual eligible for additional months of entitlement under section 3312(d) of this title, and 36 months for all other individuals”
