The Veteran's claims for education benefits under the Montgomery GI Bill - Active Duty (Chapter 30) and Montgomery GI Bill-Selected Reserves (Chapter 1606) were denied as she did not meet eligibility criteria due to her active duty service being less than two years, and her eligibility for Chapter 1606 expired in January 2000.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's active duty service was insufficient to qualify under Chapter 30, and her eligibility for Chapter 1606 expired before she could apply for benefits.
