Liberalization of GI Bill Education and Loan Benefits
The December issue reports on Public Law 268 amending the GI Bill of Rights, expanding veterans education eligibility for those over 25, extending start times to four years post discharge, increasing total education time to nine years, and removing the one year refresher limit. It outlines improved tuition and subsistence terms, expanded loan guarantees up to 50 percent, and longer payoff periods for real estate and other loans, with changes to appraisal norms and inclusion of Allied-service veterans. The notice also covers broader eligibility, including terminal leaves and hospital patients, and notes postwar refinements to vocational rehabilitation provisions.
