Sam J. Parrish county veterans service officer today declared that subsistence allowance under the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944 is not an extra wage supplement. The benefit is available only to help a veteran cover living expenses while in on the job training or pursuing education, and it requires an actual training situation.
