What determines how much I will receive in Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits?

Chapter 33, Post 9/11 GI Bill education benefits are based on how long an honorably discharged veteran served on active duty after Sept. 10, 2001. To qualify for full benefits, a veteran must have served at least three years of active duty service after Sept. 10, 2001.
