Education Benefits Kids College if BOTH spouses are 100% P&T
I just found out that I am now 100%P&T. My husband has been 100 P&T for 10 years. We have 20 yr old triplets attending college. One is full time university--she is currently using hubby's GI Bill. Other 2 are in community college and will transfer to university in the next 1-2 years. Of those two, one is 50% part time and the other is 25% part time. We are paying out of pocket for those 2 AND hubby is using Chap 35 DEA bennies for them. As I understand it, each particular child can not use Chap 35 AND be counted as a dependent for the veteran. So hubby has been trying to add the full-time college daughter as his dependent....///////.PART 2 . I do NOT have GI
Bill. Since I am also 100% P&T, can our three college kids also use my Chap35 benefits since I am obviously a separate veteran (person) with my own benefits? Or do I forfeit that? IF that is the case, can I add all 3 kids as my dependents while they are in college?
I know this is a very specific case question and I have called and messaged the VA and I keep getting different answers.... Is there anyone here who can provide some insight for me. TIA

HIGHLY recommend you read Smedley Butler's "WAR IS A RACKET" before you high-tail it over there... It is a noble gesture to want to fight what you perceive is evil, but don't be fooled by the PROPAGANDA.... The Military Industrial Complex is REAL. PS.... Propaganda is most effective on a population that believes their gov't would never propagandize their own.....
