You can't use Voc Rehab and the GI Bill at the same time. On the other hand, if you qualify for both, you can elect to use Voc Rehab and get paid like it's the GI Bill. Alternatively, you can use the GI Bill and still have access to another 12 months of Voc Rehab education bennies.

Soulex posted:what's the difference between them? I thought I read somewhere that it got passed around 2011 saying you could. 9/11 pays out with a monthly stipend of E-5 with dependents in your area, gives a $1000/year book stipend, and covers your classes. It does not cover buying extra things you may need for your class, like calculators, computers, or trip money. You also are not required to meet with a counselor to discuss your every move. Voc Rehab has a lower monthly stipend, but covers everything. Books, extra things, all of it. You are required to see your VR&E counselor every semester, if only to confirm that you've picked the right classes for your degree. Both only pay out to cover things listed on your degree program. There's some wiggle room there, but mostly that's jumping through your own rear end to get the Dean of your department to sign off that the course is now part of your degree program.

Voc Rehab; as long as you have 9/11 time left, you can get paid at the 9/11 BAH rate instead of trying to survive on the VR&E stipend. It'll run through your 9/11 benefit months though, so fair warning.
