Montgomery GI Bill- Veterans Education Benefits

The Montgomery GI Bill programs provide education benefits to veterans, service members, reservists and certain family members of veterans. These benefits serve as both a military recruitment tool and veteran's readjustment benefit.

Rating

What This Rating Means

NOT PERFORMING
Results Not Demonstrated

A rating of Results Not Demonstrated (RND) indicates that a program has not been able to develop acceptable performance goals or collect data to determine whether it is performing.
  • The program sets sufficient targets for its output measures and makes progress towards annual and long-term goals. It has many strong long-term output measures that focus on efficiency, such as sign-up rates, but lacks cost-effectiveness measures, such as how benefit changes would affect military recruitment.
  • The primary stakeholders are the Department of Defense (DoD), active-duty service members, veterans, and educational institutions. Each stakeholder clearly understands the program's value to support its interests. For example, DoD's focus is as a recruitment tool while veterans use it as a readjustment benefit.
  • The program lacks strong outcome goals. It has not assessed whether the level of education benefits provided are at the right level for a transition benefit.

Improvement Plan

About Improvement Plans

We are taking the following actions to improve the performance of the program:

  • Measuring the effect of the benefit on veterans' readjustment to civilian life.
  • Reinstating cost-effectiveness measures that were used in the past, like the "Administrative Cost per Trainee" measure.
  • Determining the optimum level of monthly benefits required to accomplish the military recruitment and retention goals.
