VA News
A number of changes are to
be made in the educational
assistance programs adminis-
tered by the Veterans Adminis-
tration for eligible veterans and
their dependents and survivors.
Following are some of the
changes which will be put into
effect prior to the beginning of
the 1974 fall semester, accord-
ing to Gene Youngblood,
Veterans Service Officer for
Throckmorton County.
Educational assistance pro-
grams are currently adminis-
tered by the VA for veterans
who served honorably during
the Vietnam era and the Cold
War period, which dates back to
Feb. 1, 1955. Monetary benefits
are also available to the wives
and children of living veterans
who are shown to be 100 per
cent disabled because of
service-incurred diseases or in-
juries, and to the widows and
children of veterans or service-
men whose deaths were the
result of military duty.
Eligible veterans and de-
pendents who attand a college
or university this fall will receive
an advance payment at the time
of registration, providing the
necessary paperwork is com-
pleted in sufficient time. The
advance payment, consisting of
the amount due for one full
month plus that remaining
portion of the month of registra-
tion, can be prepared and sent
to the school. The eligible
person may receive the check at
the time of registration, thus
having the funds necessary to
pay tuition and fees required by
the school.
Beginning with the 1974 fall
semester, the VA will place
veterans’ representatives on the
campuses of the larger colleges
and universities. These repre-
sentatives will be available to
assist veterans and other
eligible persons who might
encounter problems concerning
benefit payments, and other
matters pertaining to the
educational assistance pro-
grams administered by the
Veterans Administration. Those
enrolled in a college this fall
should contact the campus VA
representative if assistance is
required during the school term.
