The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments Wednesday in a case that could unlock additional college money for veterans who’ve earned benefits under more than one GI Bill, with Chief Justice John Roberts and others appearing to favor giving long-serving vets the maximum they can get.
The case, Rudisill v. McDonough, concerns military veterans who’ve earned college benefits under both the Montgomery GI Bill, which pays tuition, and the newer, more generous Post-9/11 GI Bill, which pays tuition and fees, plus housing and books. The law allows vets to tap both, up to a maximum of 48 months.
