GI Education Benefits Change
The article outlines a shift in GI education benefits as of 1977. Delayed entry enlistees can keep current benefits if they enlist before year end, while new recruits after 1977 must contribute monthly from pay for a potential education subsidy matched by the VA. The plan, a five year experiment, caps at 2700 dollars from the service member plus VA matching to 8100 dollars, with 10 year use window and refunds for unused contributions. It notes 30,000 delayed-entry enlistees in the Army and details monthly amounts and maximums, including separate Vietnam era benefit limits.
