BENEFIT PAYMENTS FOR ON-THE-JOB TRAINING AND APPRENTICESHIPS EFFECTIVE AUGUST 1, 2023, TO JULY 31, 2024 MONEY FOR BOOKS AND SUPPLIES We’ll pay you UP TO $1,000 each academic year for books

and supplies. We pay this money to you at the start of your benefit award period, and at the start of each academic year while you’re in your training program. MONTHLY HOUSING ALLOWANCE You

may be eligible for money to help pay for your housing while you’re training. If you’re eligible for monthly housing allowance (MHA), we’ll pay you this allowance at the end of each month. 

We’ll pay you a percentage of the full monthly housing allowance (called a “prorated payment”) based on these 2 factors: * The percentage of Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits you’re eligible for,

AND * How many hours you work each month We base your MHA on the monthly military Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) rates for an E-5 with dependents. We use the 2023 rates to calculate the

MHA you get between August 1, 2023, and July 31, 2024. You can use the Defense Department (DOD) lookup tool on the Defense Travel Management Office website to find out how much money you may

be eligible to receive for housing. You’ll need the zip code for your school to get started.  Go to the Defense Travel Management Office website Find out how we determine your MHA
