Waiting for your new GI Bill education benefits? Don't hold your breath!
Posted at 11:14 PM on Friday, October 16, 2009 by post2573
I excerpted one paragraph from the linked Inside Higher Education article to show how long the wait really could be. Of course, emergency money can be made available by going to one of 57 VA regional offices. In North Carolina we have one, in the Durham area...good for those vets attending Duke but not much help for those in Wilmington which is 170 miles away. Oh well!
First the quote:
The fix, however, may be some time coming. The department’s working goal is to pay out all eligible benefits by the start of the spring semester, which Wilson conceded could “theoretically” mean some veterans will go through the entire fall semester without receiving full benefits. That said, Wilson testified that he had not heard of any colleges kicking veterans out because they haven’t received the benefits to which they are entitled.
Then the link:
