An estimated 30,850 PostKorean veterans will be enrolled
this fall in education and training in Northern California under
the G.I Bill, Gordon R. Elliott,
Manager of VA's Northern California Regional Office, said toIn addition, approximately
1,750 servicemen in Northern
California are expected to enter
training this fall under the PostKorean G.I. Bill which offers
educational benefits to eligible
military personnel as well as
to veterans who served on active
duty for more than 180 days,
part of which was after January 31, 1955.
Nationally, Elliott said, about
523,000 Post-Korean veterans
and 30,000 servicemen are expected to be enrolled this fall
in education and training under
the G.I. Bill. More than 340,000
will be using their education entitlement for the first time.
This will be the highest. fall
enrollment since the PostKorean G.I. Bill with VA educational assistance of up to 36
months to eligible veterans went
into effect on June 1, 1966, Elliott said. With this record participation in the offing, veterans
in Northern California who will
be entering training for the first
time under the G.I, Bill or who
will be changing schools or,
courses this fall should apply
immediately to the San Francisco VA Regional Office for their
Certificate of Eligibility.
Elliott pointed out that a veteran who applies now for his
Certificate can be certain that
his G.L Bill education allowance will be dated from the day
school begins. However, if he
fails to apply for the Certificate
until after school has started
there may be a delay in payment
of his allowance.
Elliott said that, of:the 30,850
veterans who will be entered in
education or training in Northern
California this fall, approximately 21,280 will be enrolled
in institutions of higher learning.
Servicemen in Northern California who will also be enrolled
in institutions of higher learning
are expected to number about
100, Elliott said.
More than 9,020 veterans and
1,650 servicemen are expected
to enter schools below the college level in Northern California
this. fall, according to the VA
Regional Office Manager.
Since servicemen are not eligible for on-the-job training, all
of the expected 1,550 G.I Bill
on-the-job trainees in Northern
California this. fall. will be veterans, Elliott said. :
If the experience of the first
two years of the Post-Korean
G.L. Bill. obtains this fall, the
veterans in training will be almost evenly divided between
Post-Korean service (after January 31, 1955) and Vietnam era
service (after August 4, 1964),
More than 30,000 post-Korean
war vets enrolling in school
Elliott said.
Their entitlement is the same,
he emphasized,
Under the Post-Korean G,L
Bill, an eligible veteran is entitled to one month of VA educational assistance, up toa maximum of 36 months (four school
years), for each month of service,
VA educational assistance
available under this nrosram
ranges from a monthly allowance of $130 or more (depending
upon the number of dependents)
for full-time institutional training to payment of only the actual
cost of correspondence courses,
Elliott said.
The Regional Office Manager
explained. that veterans have
eight years from the date of
their discharge from active duty
to use their Post-Korean G.I.
Bill education and training benefits, However, he said, veterans
released from active duty between January 31, 1955 and June
1, 1966 have until May 30, 1974
to use these benefits.
Elliott reminded veterans and
servicemen who will be entered
in school or training in Northern
California this fall that they can
obtain needed information about
their G.I, Bill education benefits and personalized assistance
in applying for them at the VA
Regional Office inSan Francisco
or the Veterans Assistance Center in San Francisco, both. located at 49 Fourth Street.
