Veteran’s benefits
increase 10 percent
Washington (AFNS) - Changes in
veterans-educational benefits went
into effect recently when the presi-
dent signed the veterans-benefits
legislation into law.
Public Law 96-466 authorizes an
overall 10 percent increase in ed-
ucational benefits for service mem-
bers eligible for the old G.I. Bill.
This includes service members
who served on active duty or were in
the delayed enlistment program
before Jan. 1, 1977, and ROTC cadets
called to active duty during 1977.
Other adjustments were also
included and you should consult with
the veterans administration or your
service's career counselor for fur-
ther details.
The law does not include a Senate
proposal to extend the old GI Bill's
use-or-lose date of Dec. 31, 1989.
The House Veterans Affairs Committee
has made a commitment to review that
issue during next year's efforts to
design an all-volunteer-force G.I.
Bill.
