Summary

Reserve Educational Assistance Program (REAP) ( Chapter 1607 of Title 10 US Code ) is a Department of Defense education program that provides up to 36 months of education assistance to members of the reserve components - Selected Reserves (SELRES) and Individual Ready Reserve - who are ordered to active duty in response to a war or national emergency (contingency operation) as declared by the President or Congress.

Note: Under the Forever GI Bill, Members of the Reserve who established eligibility to educational assistance under the Reserve Educational Assistance Program (REAP) before November 25, 2015, and lost it due to the sunset diploma with a cap and stack of mony on top of itprovision may elect to have that service credited towards the Post-9/11 GI Bill program.

The Reserve Educational Assistance Program (REAP) ended on November 25, 2015, but some Service members that were actively using the benefits were able to keep using the benefits until November 25, 2019. The REAP program has now ended for all. You may be eligible for Post-9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33) benefits.
