The justices will hear arguments in its next term, which begins in October.

The Supreme Court on Monday said it will consider a legal fight involving two federal programs that award educational benefits for veterans, including those who served in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

Both programs cap the education assistance at 36 months, but the Post-9/11 GI Bill was designed to provide veterans with"enhanced educational assistance benefits" that are more generous than the Montgomery GI bill, as Congress found that active-duty service was"especially arduous" for military members after the 9/11 terror attacks.

Rudisill enlisted a second time with the Army National Guard and deployed to Iraq from 2004 to 2005. He received another honorable discharge and resumed his undergraduate studies, using a combined 25 months and 14 days of benefits from the Montgomery GI bill. Rudisill then turned to the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, which ruled in his favor and found he was not subject to the limitation, as it applied only to veterans who qualified for the Montgomery and Post-9/11 programs based on a"single period of service." A divided three-judge panel for the U.S.
