Under the Post-9/11 GI Bill, what is covered regarding tuition and housing allowances?

• A. Tuition is fully paid to the most expensive private school and housing allowance is not provided.
• B. 100% of tuition is paid up to the most expensive in-state public school; tuition for higher private or out-of-state schools is paid directly to the school; living expenses are paid as MHA equal to the E-5 BAH for the school's location.
• C. Only a portion of tuition is paid, and housing allowance is based on E-4 BAH.
• D. Tuition is paid directly to the student and housing allowance is separate.

Answer: (B)

Under the Post-9/11 GI Bill the amount covered for tuition follows a specific cap and payment method, while living expenses are addressed with a housing allowance. Tuition is paid fully up to the most expensive in-state public school; if you attend a private or out-of-state school, the VA pays the actual tuition and fees directly to the school, up to the program’s national limit. In addition, living expenses are provided as a monthly housing allowance equal to the Basic Allowance for Housing for an E-5 with dependents in the location of the school. This setup ensures public in-state tuition is covered fully, private or out-of-state tuition is capped but paid directly to the school, and housing is provided as a location-based rate. The other options don’t fit because they either omit the housing allowance, misstate who receives tuition payments (tuition is not paid to the student), or use the wrong BAH level or partial coverage.
