KOREAN GI BILL
STUDENTS TOLD HOW TO
SPEED CHECKS
Veterans Administration has
listed some reminders for the
two-thirds-of-a-million veterans
now in training under the Korean
GI Bill that will aid them to get
paid allowances.
First, VA urged veteran-train
ees to make sure they fill out the j
“Certification of Training” form |
their school provides at the end
of each month of training. The
completed form must be returned
to the school which, in turn, will
send it to VA, each month.
The law requires that this
monthly form be in VA’s hands
before the agency may mail a
veteran his GI allowance check.
VA’s second reminder is for
veteran-trainees eligible ;for
higher GI allowance rates be
cause they have dependents.
These veterans should submit
evidence of dependency as soon
as possible, VA said.
The veteran who wishes to
claim an increased allowance be
cause of his wife should send VA
a certified copy of the public or
church record of his marriage,
along with a VA form called “De
claration of Marital Status.”
Other records will be needed if
the veteran, or his wife, have
been married before.
To claim the higher rate be
cause of a minor child, the vet
eran-trainee should submit to
VA a certified copy of the public
record of birth, or a certified
copy of the record of baptism.
Korean GI veteran-trainees also
should notify VA immediately if:
1. They change their address. 2.
They plan to change their train
ing program. 3. They quit or drop
out of training. 4. Their depend
ency status is changed, through
divorce, birth of a child, or death
of a dependent.
In notifying VA, veterans
should be sure to give their claim
number and full name and ad
dress.
Question of the Week:
Q. I am in school under the
Korean GI Bill. My three-year
starting cut-off date has passed.
Would I still be allowed to
change my course? I never chan
ged courses before.
A. You will be allowed to
change your course after the
starting deadline only if (1) you
have not been making satisfac
tory progress in your present
course through no fault of your
own or (2) the new course will
be a normal progression from
your present course.
