On the old Montgomery GI Bill, the limit is 10 years after your last day in service. On the new Post 9/11 GI Bill, the limit is 15 years. You can request to change from the Montgomery to the Post 9/11 GI Bill, and the limit will change to 15 years. There are advantages to both systems however, depending on your situation. Don't change over blindly, do your homework. I read up on it a bit, and decided to stick with the old Montgomery system. The Post 9/11 GI Bill provides BAH to students attending full time, but your classes have to be on campus, not on-line. There's a catch to everything.

Do part time students receive gi bill?

Ok your question is a little confusing so let me say this. If you are in the military and are looking to use your GI bill for part time education then yes, you can use it that way. You can use your GI bill however it fits you until the bill is used entirely. You can take anywhere from one class, to full time college until you have used all of your bill. Also if you are military, and you are in the field you want to be in when you get out of the service, try to see if there is any other education benefits you can use for that field FIRST. That way it is not counted towards your gi bill.
