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.
