Welcome to the GI Bill Website

The monthly REAP payment is based on the amount of time you are mobilized for. Prior to this legislation the monthly payment was determined as follows:
The benefit payable under REAP is a percentage of the Chapter 30 three-year
or more enlistment rate ($1,101.00 as of 10/1/07) click HERE for
rates based on the number of days of continuous service on active duty.
- If you serve 90 days but less than 1 year, you will receive 40% of the
three-year rate.
- A service period of 1 year but less than 2 years of active duty will
pay 60% of the three-year rate.
- A service period of more than 2 years on active duty will result in an
80% payment of the three-year rate.
The new legislation has made the 80% rate available to anyone who was mobilized for at least 2 continuous years of active duty OR served multiple mobilizations totaling 3 years or more. All qualifying mobilization periods beginning on or after 9/11/2001 may be used to determine eligibility for the 80% rate.
Payment of the higher rate is not authorized prior to January 28, 2008, the effective date of the law.
