GI Bill Training May Continue
Veterans who interrupted GI Bill studies and were later recalled to military service may continue training after discharge even if they started after the July 25 cut-off. Eligibility applies if conduct and progress were satisfactory, and training must resume promptly after civilian return and finish by July 25, 1946. As an VA example, a veteran who paused GI Bill training for a temporary call to PCR would still be eligible for post-cutoff benefits.
