Yes, GI BILL is the final payer, but you should fill out the FAFSA to see what other scholarships/grants/government money your college student is eligible to receive.

One note about the GI BILL: with reimbursement for the books, have enough saved for that and plan on paying out of pocket. One year, my husband’s GI BILL took over 4 months to reimburse him for the books and to pay his BAH due to an influx of paperwork and not enough people to process the claims. Just wanted to let you know of that possibility so that you are not caught unaware, the way we were that year.
