New GI Bill signed yesterday

Posted at 08:10 AM on Wednesday, July 2, 2008 by post2573

  • President Bush signed a supplemental war spending bill Monday that includes a dramatic expansion of GI Bill benefits for veterans who have served on active duty since September 11, 2001. The new GI Bill, championed by Sen. Jim Webb (D-Va.) would provide up to the cost of in-state tuition at the most expensive public college in a veteran’s state, a monthly housing stipend based on a college’s location, and an extra $1,000 annually for books. Currently, GI Bill benefits are worth just $1,101 monthly, and many are wonder how the infusion of new funds for veterans might impact where they choose to attend college. The GI Bill expansion is estimated to cost $62 billion over 10 years.
