Might be eligible for extra 12mths of G.I bill (Rudisill vs VA)

[B4y 4RE4 N4Tiv3]

On April 16, 2024 the Supreme Court of the United States decided that if you served at least two periods of service-one that qualifies for the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB) and another that qualifies for the Post-9/11 GI Bill (PGIB)-you may be able to receive additional GI Bill benefits.
The following chart shows the changes from before and after the Court's decision:

Beneficiaries eligible for both MGIB and PGIB were required to waive MGIB eligibility to begin using PGIB benefits. PGIB entitlement was limited to the amount of remaining MGIB entitlement. Previous elections to waive MGIB could not be revoked.	Beneficiaries impacted by the Court's decision are no longer required to waive MGIB eligibility to use PGIB benefits when applying. PGIB entitlement is no longer limited to the amount of remaining MGIB entitlement, but beneficiaries are still subject to the 48-month limit for combined benefits under multiple programs. Previous elections to waive MGIB in order to use PGIB can be revoked.

I assume that most of us HPSP recipients won't qualify unless you were recalled to AD from IRR? What exactly qualifies as 2 periods of service on the officer side since we don't re-enlist?

honestly that would be a question for one of the VA education reps. I only know about the enlisted side of things.
