You can get education benefits if: 
- You qualify for any GI Bill program, **and** 
- You’ve served on active duty for at least 90 days—with or without a break in service—after September 10, 2001.

If you qualify for more than one VA education benefit, you’ll have to pick which one you want to use. This is an irrevocable decision, meaning you can’t change your mind.

Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits expire 15 years after your last separation date from active service. You must use all of your benefit by that time or you'll lose whatever's left.

**If your service ended after January 1, 2013:** There's no time limit for using your education benefits (known as a "delimiting date"). But our automated system still prints letters with outdated information about end dates. Any delimiting date that's on your records right now isn't correct, but it'll remain until we update our system.
