Education for Returning Vets

For Veterans returning from combat, going back to school presents more challenges than simply learning the material in their textbooks. In Cleveland, Ohio one professor has created a program called S.E.R.V. to prepare his student Veterans for the transition out of the service and into the classroom. For more information, visit http://www.csuohio.edu/academic/serv/ . See http://www1.va.gov/opa/feature/amervet/video/amvet2009-1-4.asx for the Section 508 compliant version of this video.

1945 Demobilization Benefits were today’s equivalent of 686 dollars a WEEK for 52 weeks for unemployment to be supplanted by Room & Board for 1,430 dollars a month plus ALL university costs & fees for the duration, to include a master’s program if so selected. Cost-of-living amount was 50% more if a beneficiary had 1 or more dependents, to include a spouse and/or children.

There was no deduction or accumulation from GI pay for this, it was full & automatic.
