    Just a guess, but I doubt it matters where you test.... if you are on active duty, it's free (and doesn't touch GI Bill). If you are on active reserve, it's paid for via the GI Bill if you have any left. If you separated from all (like I did), you get zilch. I'm not complaining... it's $70 we're talking about. My brothers & sisters still on a/d deserve a hell of a lot more than that!

    No. You have to be on ACTIVE DUTY status. The test center will ask and will find out.

    Didn't mean to challenge you, but I thought something was a bit off (i had heard conflicting information). In NY it is a bit different, the DMNA reimburses you for fee's

    NYS DMNA Reimbursement Testing Program

    No offense taken. Some test centers will waive the testing fee (about $15) but will charge you for the exam ($70). I looked at the website provided but I don't understand why Guard spouses are getting the exams for free. I pretty sure the DMNA will reimburse you the testing fee not the exam fee but I am be wrong. Sorry about the CAPS Creationstory
