Veterans administration answers
the 10 questions most frequently
asked by World war II veterans
about education under the G.I. Bill.
The veterans asked the questions
in a study that VA conducted to
learn how much they know about
their federal benefits. The ques
tions and answers follows:
Q. How is the length of entitle
ment calcuated and does a year of
entitlement mean a school year or
a calender year?
A. Under the G.I. Bill, any elig
ible veteran is entitled to education
or job-training for a period of one
calender year, plus the time he
spent in the armed forces between
September 16, 1940 and the of
ficial end of the war. The total
period of education or training
may not exceed four calender
years.
Q. What schools may a veteran
attend under the G.I. Bill?
A. A veteran may enroll in any
approved school that will accept
him.
Q. What books and equipment
does VA supply the veteran in
school?
A. VA pays for all books and
equipment that the school requires
of all students in the same course
so long as this amount plus tuition
does not exceed $500 a year for
the course.
Q. How much subsistence is
paid and how soon may the veter
an expect to receive benefits after
he is enrolled?
A. VA may pay eligible veter
ans without dependants a sub
sistence allowance of $65 a month

Submitted for this column by
a man who has been in Vernonia
several times before and is visit
ing here now, is the verse below.
It carries a lot of truth that could
well be heeded by all of us.
Congressman Walter Norblad
(R-Ore) has closed his Washing
ton, D.C. office, and the members
of his staff are enroute to Salem,
where the representative will main
tain headquarters beginning Sept
ember 2. All correspondence to
him should be addressed to Con
gressman Norblad at Salem, Ore
gon.
and veterans with one or more de
pendants, $90 a month. The length
of time required to issue the first
subsistence check varies with each
case. Generally, the first check is
issued within 30 days after the
end of the first monthly pay per
iod. Subsistence allowances in
arrears are paid, but none is paid
in advance.
Q. May a veteran change his
course if he finds the original
course in which he enrolled is not
satisfactory?
A. Yes, providing he has VA’s
permission to do so. Whenever
the facts in the case indicate that
a change will be to the best in
terests of the veteran, VA will
grant authorization for the change.
Q. May a vetran enroll in a
night school or a part-Jjme course ?
A. Yes.
Q. May a veteran receive VA
subsistence payments if he works
while attending school under the
G.I. Bill?
A. He may work part-time or
full-time and still draw his full
allowance, provided that the wages
he earns for such emplyment, plus
his subsistence allowance while
attending school, does not total
more than $175 a month if he has
no dependants or $200 a month if
he has one or more dependents.
His VA subsistence allowance is
reduced proportionately when the
total exceeds the furegoing stat
utory limits.
Q. What happens if the veter
an’s marks are low or his progress
is unsatisfactory?
A. He may receive the assist
ance of VA’s educational and
guidance service in an endeavor
to correct those factors which may
be contributing to his deficiency.
But he is obliged to meet the re
quirements of the school if he
wishes to continue his course.
Q. May the veteran take part of
his training in one school and part
in another?
A. VA may permit a veteran to
take more than one course of study
at the same time, either in the
same or in a different school, pro
vided that the course in the second
school is not offered by the first
school in which the veteran is en
rolled and the latter school will
certify that the second course is
essential to the successful com
pletion of the veteran’s training
objective.
Q. May a veteran study with a
private teacher and receive benefits
under the G. I. Bill?
A. No.
