POLICY.

REF C IS NAVADMIN 236/18, POST 9-11 GI BILL UPDATES PART 2.
RMKS/1. This ALNAVRESFOR provides additional information for the
Reserve Force related to the temporary exception to policy (ETP) by
the Department of Defense (DoD) to Post 9-11 GI Bill transfer of
education benefits (TEB) eligibility.
2.  IAW reference (a), members with at least 10 years of service who,
at the time of their TEB application, are unable to serve 4
additional years due to statute or standard policy (DoD or Service),
and agree to serve the maximum time authorized, are eligible to
transfer education benefits to eligible dependents.  This ETP ends
11 July 2019.
3.  Members should submit TEB applications through the Defense
Manpower Data Center (DMDC) milConnect web portal at
https://milconnect.dmdc.osd.mil. All Sailors are now required to
complete the online self-service Statement of Understanding (SOU)
found at https://myeducation.netc.navy.mil/webta/home.html#nbb.
4.  TEB applications submitted on, or after, 12 July 2019 are
subject to the revised TEB policy contained in references (b) and
(c).  This policy changes TEB eligibility to service members with
6-16 years of service, who are eligible to serve (and obligate) 4
additional years.  This shift has the potential to impact senior
officers who use the Apply process to remain in a pay status.
Additional policy is currently in development to maximize
opportunities to retain eligibility for these members to transfer
benefits.
5. Eligible members with dependents are highly encouraged to submit
TEB applications as soon as possible.  Helpful information can be
found at: https://private.navyreserve.navy.mil/cnrfc/N-Codes/N1/
CNRFC_N1C2/SitePages/Education%20Benefits.aspx.  Members may also
contact the post 9/11 hotline at 1-800-621-8853, or email
cnrfc_post911GIBILL@navy.mil.  More information on the Forever GI
Bill can be found at http://www.benefits.va.gov/gibill.
6. The CNRFC point of contact is Mr. Jason Lowe (757) 322-2664,
e-mail: donald.lowe@navy.mil.
7. This ALNAVRESFOR will remain in effect until superseded or
canceled, whichever occurs first.
8. Released by Vice Admiral L. M. McCollum, Commander, Navy Reserve
Force.//
