I am finally(!) in my last semester at my university and graduate in May. I've been using a portion of my husband's GI Bill that he split between our daughter and me. I had two weeks left when this semester began (only half time woohoo!) and my tuition was paid and my book stipend showed up with no problems. However, today I checked the bank and there was no deposit for the partial BAH for January. I was wondering if because I only had two weeks left that it means I won't be receiving any of the housing allowance (which I know would have been halved due to my half-time status). I guess I should note that I've received BAH with no problems the last couple of years of attendance.

My daughter is also just started using her portion to go to university full-time where she lives (Omaha). Could her receiving BAH for herself end my allowance? It will only sting a little if this is how that works, was just hoping I could get some much needed dental work done in case I can't make it to March 1st (when our dental benefits kick in).

re: My earlier post with questions.

Ok, think I found my answer here: "If the GI-Bill benefit was transferred to you, transferred benefits are day for day – just like those who hit the 48 month maximum. If the transferred benefit ends in the middle of the semester, all the tuition and fees will be prorated to a daily rate for tuition, as well as for the BAH; however, the book stipend will be paid in full (not prorated)."

So, looks like my tuition was completely covered (I checked my bill online and it was paid in full), but I'm now out of the BAH entitlement. Darn it.
