Question about GI Bill and In-state tuition

Okay, so I’m looking for some insight regarding the GI Bill and in-state tuition. When I used some of my GI Bill benefits a few years ago, schools had to consider you as an in-state student as long as you started school within 3 years of separation from active duty. I’ve heard that now they have to consider you in-state at any time if they want to remain a GI Bill eligible school. The VA website isn’t super clear to me. Anyone have some info to help clarify this for me?

My understanding is your GI Bill will cover full tuition at any state school up to 10 years after separation. (you are considered a resident). And if they are a yellow ribbon private school a large portion of the tuition (school depending) is covered through government matching.
