VA Reconsiders GI Bill Overpayment Policy in Vermont
Veterans Administration officials say they will reassess their ruling on overpayments to student veterans at Vermont Community College. The VA previously held the college system liable for about 50,000 of an estimated 129,000 overpayment, claiming losses came from students dropping out or reducing coursework. Community College officials have appealed, as the statewide total overpayments to Vermont colleges approach 390,000 dollars under the GI bill.
