Chapter 1607 -  REAP (Reserve Educational Assistance Program)

Veterans may qualify for these benefits if they:

• are a Reservist or National Guard member;
• served on active duty on or after September 11, 2001, for at least 90 consecutive days.

Benefit Guidelines

Veterans who enroll full-time will receive a monthly stipend for personal use. The monthly stipend will be reduced proportionately if the veteran is enrolled part-time. Visit http://www.gibill.va.gov/GI_Bill_Info/rates.htm for complete information on current rates.

If you were eligible for a kicker under Chapter 1606, you will continue to receive the kicker through Chapter 1607.

Benefits must be used while actively drilling with the National Guard/Reserve unit. Once veterans leave the National Guard/Reserves, their education benefits end.
