Did you know that as a spouse or dependent of a service member, you are able to transfer all or a portion of the Post 9/11 bill for education? Any unused benefits may be transferred to a spouse or dependent to pay for your educational costs.

would like to inquire about benefits such as educational funding for dependent spouses of retired military person, whose military sponsor is not using the benefit entitlement but wants to let spouse use it.
I would also like to learn more about the privatization benefit for retirees if the spouse has a disability. Why is it that the benefit to reside in army military housing as a retiree only qualifies retirees for the old housing that is not handicap accessible, when there are units that are brand new and are handicaps accessible? In Oahu the Regional manager refuses to make any exceptions for disabled retirees spouses. So, although there are handicap accessible units available retirees and their disabled dependent are only offers the OLD military units that are not adequate for ADA compliance and do not care to work with us either. Rent is the same if not less for the active duty who are paying for newer accommodations. Would like to see an article done on this topic.
