Past rates: 2022-23 MGIB-SR

How we determine your rate

We base your monthly rate (or payment amount) on these 2 factors:

• The type of education or training you’re getting, and
• How many courses you’re taking—or how far along you are in your on-the-job training or apprenticeship program

You may get less than the full rate each month if any of these are true:

• You’re enrolled in fewer courses than what we consider to be full time, or
• Your clock hours per week are less than what we consider to be full time, or
• You’re getting on-the-job training, or
• You’re in an apprenticeship program

Note: If you have a kicker, you may get more money each month than the full-time enrollment rate. We’ll add the kicker amount to your monthly payment. 

Current MGIB-SR rates

The MGIB-SR rates listed here are for October 1, 2022, to September 30, 2023. We’ll make the payments directly to you.

For institutions of higher learning

These monthly rates are for courses at colleges and universities.

The amounts listed here are for a full month of enrollment. We’ll pay you a percentage of the full month’s rate based on the number of days that you’re enrolled in the month. We call this a prorated payment. For example, if your school starts on the 20th, you would get a payment for 10 days of enrollment that month. Your payment would be 1/3 of the monthly rate. 

We’ll pay you up to the rate listed here based on how many courses you’re taking:

• Full-time enrollment: $439.00 for each full month
• 3/4-time enrollment: $329.00 for each full month
• 1/2-time enrollment: $219.00 for each full month
• Less than 1/2-time enrollment: $109.75 for each full month
