POW Wives Gain Education Benefits Under New Law
President Nixon signed a law expanding education benefits for wives and children of prisoners of war and for servicemen with 181 days of active duty. The change, effective December 24, 1970, also extends GI loan guarantees and allows earlier use of GI Bill benefits while in service. Wives and children of those missing in action or detained are now eligible for educational benefits. Full training requires 120 hours per month for apprenticeship programs, with a 30 hour work week for full-time training unless a bargain sets a lower standard.
