Can a service member transfer his GI Bill to his spouse?

I've been told that a service member can transfer his or her GI bill to a spouse after 6 years in the service, after signing a contract for 4 more. Is this true, or can you only transfer to children? We have degrees, but i'd like to go back to get into the health field. Would I be ineligible because I already have a degree?Can a service member transfer his GI Bill to his spouse?
You can transfer to spouse or child, there could be restrictions on how much depending on the branch. The qualifications are 6 years in, reenlisting for another 4 or over 10 years in. This starts in August 2009. You will not get the housing allowance though.





If you want to go to school it doesnt matter that you could have a degree already. Usually you can use it for other schooling, it it the Tuition Assistance for AD members that does have restrictions on Bachelor's, Master's, etc... and going for a repeat.Can a service member transfer his GI Bill to his spouse?
Yes, you are correct. If he has served 6 and is contracted to serve at least 4 more, he can transfer it to you. However, they are trying to decide if the spouse can get the full 36 months, or a shortened amount like 18 months. As for the degrees, I know if you are a servicemember, the G.I. Bill only pays for one Bachelor's, one Masters, etc. If you already have a Bachelor's it may not pay for another, since it wouldn't for your husband.
