Top Up
“Top-Up” eligible active duty DoD personnel may use the Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefit in conjunction with TA funds from their Service to cover those course costs to the Service member that exceed the amount of TA paid by his or her Service. RC members who have earned entitlement for the Post-9/11 GI Bill® can use both VA education benefits and TA, but VA will only pay for the portion of tuition not covered by TA. The combination of VA education benefits and TA will not exceed 100 percent of the actual costs of tuition.
