If you're ready to apply for additional benefits under the Rudisill decision, complete the VA Form 22-1995. Be sure to select that you are requesting a Rudisill review on page two of the online application. Once VA has received and evaluated your claim, you will receive an official decision.
Please note that if you are approved, your new delimiting date will be calculated based upon when you apply. If you are not ready to use your benefits, we encourage you to wait until you are ready to prevent your benefits from expiring before you are able to use them.
The deadline to receive a new expiration date recalculation is October 1, 2030. After October 1, 2030, a Veteran can still submit a claim for benefits; however, the normal delimiting date calculation rules will apply.
What has changed?
On April 16, 2024 the Supreme Court of the United States decided that if you served at least two periods of service-one that qualifies for the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB) and another that qualifies for the Post-9/11 GI Bill (PGIB)-you may be able to receive additional GI Bill benefits.
