GI Bill for independent and distance learning options - BBryant165 - 08-19-2020
I'm not sure if anyone else has seen this. It popped up in my email today. I'm on Chapter 31 Voc Rehab so I have no use for it as I cannot ust both entitlements at once. It appears the VA is letting people use their GI Bill benefits for distance learning now. I'm assuming it has to be a VA accredited institution but may be good for someone who either has a couple of months left remaining or can use it to fill some classes here and there.

GI Bill has allowed that for a long time now. The caveat is you get a very low BAH stipend(1/2 * national average) if all classes are online.
