Are my education benefits taxable?
No! GI BILL benefits are not taxable. For more information please visit the VA Answer Site for more information.
Once I start using my benefits am I required to continue using them until they are gone?
The GI BILL is not an all or none system. If you wish you can use them for a semester and take time off and reapply at a later time. However, if you do not use them before they expire you will lose any unused benefit.

The Yellow Ribbon GI Educational Enhancement Program is a provision of the Post 9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. The program allows institutions of higher learning in the United States to enter voluntarily into an agreement with the VA to fund tuition and fee expenses that exceed the highest public in-state undergraduate tuition rate. The institution can contribute a specified dollar amount of those expenses and the VA will match the same amount as the institution (not to exceed 50% of the difference).
