Are Wounded Warriors eligible for the transfer-to-dependent option?

0

Yes, Wounded Warriors are eligible to transfer benefits to dependents as long as they meet the eligibility requirements for the Post 9/11 GI Bill, served at least 6 years active duty as of 1 Aug 09 and will commit to serving and additional four years. If Wounded Warriors are unable to complete the additional 4-year commitment due to their medical condition, the DVA may still allow them to maintain their transfer-to-dependents option. In fact, for any Airmen who were eligible and initiated transfer of GI benefits to their dependents, and then became involuntarily separated for a reason out of their control before completing their commitment due to medical issues/death, RIF, hardship, force shaping, etc., the DVA considers that “completed service” and will honor the transfer of benefits to dependents.
