GI Bill benefits help you pay for school and cover expenses while you’re training for a job. Since 1944, the GI Bill has helped qualifying Veterans and their family members get money to cover all or some of the costs for school or training. Learn more about GI Bill benefits on this page—and how to apply for them.
If you applied for and were awarded Post 9/11 GI Bill education benefits, your GI Bill Statement of Benefits will show you how much of your benefits you’ve used and how much you have left to use.
VA education benefits help Veterans, service members, and their qualified family members with needs like paying college tuition, finding the right school or training program, and getting career counseling. Learn how to apply for and manage the education and training benefits you’ve earned.
We base your award of benefits on how long you served on active duty and certain other factors.
You’re eligible for 100% of the full benefit if you meet at least 1 of these requirements: You served on active duty for a total of at least 1,095 days (at least 36 months), or You served on active duty and received a Purple Heart on or after September 11, 2001, or You served on active duty for at least 30 continuous days (without a break), and we discharged you because of a service-connected disability
• Applies to all former military personnel from any branch of the military.
• Must provide copy of DD-214 reflecting an honorable discharge
• A medical discharge for service-related injuries would be the only other acceptable discharge to qualify for this incentive.
• Gypsum must be the first trucking company the applicant is coming to.
• Every 12 months of active duty Military service will count as the equivalent of 6 months driving experience upon hire, regardless of position held while active. (Does not need to be a truck driving MOS.)
• EX: An applicant comes to Gypsum that just served 4 years Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corp, or Coast Guard would start with us at the 2-year experienced driver pay scale.
• This would max out at 8 years active duty time (coming on at 4 years’ experience Pay Scale).
• Anyone who served 8 years or more active duty would still come in at the 4-year experienced pay scale.
• This starting pay would take effect upon successful completion of the training program and testing out to become a solo driver.
If you served on active duty for less than 1,095 days (36 months), you’re eligible for only part of the Post-9/11 GI Bill benefit. We base the percentage you’re eligible for on the total amount of time you served on active duty (with or without breaks in service). We call this your “eligibility tier.”

The rates listed on this page are for 100% percent of the full benefit. If you’re eligible for a percentage of the full benefit, multiply the rates on this page by your percentage. This will give you the amount of your yearly payment.
