when was the post 911 gi bill passed?
june 30 , 2008
in early june 2008, the white house signaled the president might be willing to sign a modified version of the webb bill, along with the war funding bill, if transferability between spouses and dependents was added onto the new gi bill. this would make the benefits more valuable to career military personal that would like to pay for their spouse or child's education. on june 19, this provision was added to the war funding bill. with the added transferability provisions for continued military service, mccain said he now supported the bill, because it encouraged additional service beyond three years, mitigating his earlier concerns. mccain, who had not voted in the senate since april 8, was campaigning in ohio on june 26 and was not present for the final senate vote on the bill, which passed 92–6 (the only other senator not voting was ted kennedy, who was recovering after surgery to remove a brain tumor). bush signed the war funding bill, along with the veterans education benefits, into law on june 30, 2008.
