How much does VA pay under the Reserve Educational Assistance Program (REAP)


The educational assistance allowance payable under REAP is a percentage of the Montgomery GI Bill-Active Duty (MGIB) rate based on the number of continuous days served on active duty.  Persons released before 90 days due to an injury, illness, or disease incurred or aggravated in the line of duty receive the 40% rate.  Current rates of payment can be found on our Internet web site or by calling the toll-free number below. 

  • Members who serve 90 days but less than 1 year will receive 40% of the MGIB 3 year rate.
  • Members who serve 1 year but less than 2 years will receive 60% of the MGIB 3 year rate.
  • Members who serve 2 or more continuous years will receive 80% of the MGIB 3 year rate.

 

The amount VA pays is based on the type of training program and training time (i.e. full time, half time, etc).  If attendance is less than a month or less than full-time, payments are reduced proportionately.
