This law says when reservists can use their GI education benefits. Normally that right ends the day they leave the Selected Reserve. Some reservists, like those hurt on duty or called to long active duty, get more time.

(a) Normally, a reservist's right to use education benefits ends on the day they leave the Selected Reserve — unless (b) applies. (b) (1) The time limit in (a) works differently for two groups: (A) someone released from the Selected Reserve because of a disability that wasn't caused by their own serious misconduct, if the disability happened on or after they became entitled to the benefits; or (B) someone who stops being a Selected Reserve member between October 1, 1991 and December 31, 2001, or between October 1, 2007 and September 30, 2014, because their unit was deactivated or they were involuntarily removed from the Selected Reserve under section 10143(a). For these people, the usual time-limit rule in (a) applies without its second part. (2) Section 3031(f) of title 38 also applies to this time limit. (3) Section 3031(d) of title 38 applies too, if the disability happened during, or was made worse by, Selected Reserve service. (4) If a Selected Reserve member of the Ready Reserve is called to active duty under one of several listed orders — sections 12301(a), 12301(d), 12301(g), 12302, 12304, 12304a, or 12304b — then (A) that active-duty time, plus four months, doesn't count toward when the member's benefits expire, and (B) starting that active duty doesn't count as leaving the Selected Reserve for purposes of paragraph (2). (5) If the Secretary decides an emergency stopped a person from using their benefits, the Secretary must extend the time limit by however many months the emergency blocked them. (c) "Emergency situation" means whatever section 3601 of title 38 says it means.

(a)

Except as provided in subsection (b), the period during which a person entitled to educational assistance under this chapter may use such person’s entitlement expires on the date the person is separated from the Selected Reserve.

(b)
(1)

In the case of a person—

(A)

who is separated from the Selected Reserve because of a disability which was not the result of the individual’s own willful misconduct incurred on or after the date on which such person became entitled to educational assistance under this chapter; or

(B)

who, on or after the date on which such person became entitled to educational assistance under this chapter ceases to be a member of the Selected Reserve during the period beginning on October 1, 1991, and ending on December 31, 2001, or the period beginning on October 1, 2007, and ending on September 30, 2014, by reason of the inactivation of the person’s unit of assignment or by reason of involuntarily ceasing to be designated as a member of the Selected Reserve pursuant to section 10143(a) of this title,

the period for using entitlement prescribed by subsection (a) shall be determined without regard to clause (2) of such subsection.

(2)

The provisions of section 3031(f) of title 38 shall apply to the period of entitlement prescribed by subsection (a).

(3)

The provisions of section 3031(d) of title 38 shall apply to the period of entitlement prescribed by subsection (a) in the case of a disability incurred in or aggravated by service in the Selected Reserve.

(4)

In the case of a member of the Selected Reserve of the Ready Reserve who serves on active duty pursuant to an order to active duty issued under section 12301(a), 12301(d), 12301(g), 12302, 12304, 12304a, or 12304b of this title—

(A)

the period of such active duty service plus four months shall not be considered in determining the expiration date applicable to such member under subsection (a); and

(B)

the member may not be considered to have been separated from the Selected Reserve for the purposes of clause (2) of such subsection by reason of the commencement of such active duty service.

(5)

In any case in which the Secretary concerned determines that a person entitled to educational assistance under this chapter has been prevented from using such person’s entitlement due to an emergency situation, the Secretary concerned shall extend the period of entitlement prescribed in subsection (a) for a period equal to the number of months that the person was so prevented from using such entitlement, as determined by the Secretary.

(c)

In this section, the term “emergency situation” has the meaning given such term in section 3601 of title 38.
