Transfer yourpost 9/11
GI Bill to a loved one
While the Post 9/11 GI Bill offers
a very generous post-service edu-
cation benefit, a special provision
of the program allows careers serv-
ice members the opportunity to
share their education benefits with
immediate family members.
Eligibility includes any member
of the Armed Forces (Active Duty,
Selected Reserve to include the Na-
tional Guard, officer or enlisted) on
or after August 1, 2009, who is el-
igible for the Post 9/11 GI Bill and
one of the following:
- Has at least 6 years of service in
the Armed forces on the date of
election and agrees to serve 4 ad-
ditional years in the Armed Forces
from the date of election.
- Has at least 10 years of service
in the Armed Forces (Active and/or
Selected Reserve) on the date of
election, is precluded by either
standard policy or statute from
committing to 4 additional years to
serve for a maximum amount of
time allowed by such policy or
statute.
- Is or becomes retirement eligi-
ble during the period from 1 August
2009 through 1 August 2013. A
service member is considered re-
tirement eligible if he or she has
completed 20 years of Active Duty
or 20 qualifying years of reserve
service.
After the individual is approved
to transfer an entitlement to edu-
cational assistance he or she may
transfer the benefit to:
- The individual's spouse
- One or more of the individuals
children
- Any combination of the Spouse
and child
The family member must be en-
rolled in the Defense Eligibility Re-
porting System (DEERS) and be el-
igible for benefits to use the trans-
ferred benefit. The child's subse-
quent marriages will not affect his
or her eligibility to receive the
benefit. The service member or vet-
eran however retains the fight to re-
voke the benefit at any time.

BBB says: Watch outfor
o
mystery calls as 'One-nng
scheme' targets the region
BURNSVILLE, Minn. -- Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and
North Dakota (BBB) is warning cellphone users to watch out for brief
calls from international prefixes, such as 473 - which covers Grena-
da. In most cases reported so far, people's cellphones ring once and
then the call disconnects. Scammers are counting on people's curiosity
getting the best of them and hoping they'll dial these numbers back,
which are international calls that can lead to hefty charges. The best
policy is to ignore calls from strange numbers and disregard the temp-
tation to dial them back.
"This scheme definitely plays on our natural curiosity," said Dana
Badgerow, pr6sident and CEO of BBB of Minnesota and North Dako-
ta. "However, in this case, simple curiosity can get you into some trou-
ble."
Calls of this nature have hit nationwide. In most cases, the calls hang
up before people can even answer. Or if people do answer, they hear
moaning or a commotion of some kind and then the call disconnects.
In either case, these calls leave their information on your caller ID.
Some people, believing the call is domestic, dial the number back.
Reports indicate those calls are then routed to international adult en-
tertainment or chat lines where charges can accumulate rapidly. The
area code mentioned gost often recently when it comes to this scheme
is Grenada (473). Other intemational prefixes which might appear on
caller IDs in situations like this origiiaate fi'om the Dominican Republic
(809), Jamaica(Sq6)¢andthe British Virgin Islands (284). Recerrt re-
ports indicate calls such as these are also originating from Antigua
(268).
