Rudisill v. McDonough

The Supreme Court considered whether a veteran who served two separate periods of qualifying service is entitled to receive education benefits under both the Montgomery GI Bill and the Post-9/11 GI Bill up to a 48-month aggregate cap, without being forced to exhaust the less generous Montgomery benefits first. The Court ruled in favor of the veteran, holding that service members with separate entitlements can use either benefit in any order up to the statutory cap.
