Vets’ Group Launches New GI Bill Web Site
Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America is launching a national outreach program to help veterans prepare for the big increase in GI Bill education benefits that takes effect next year. This includes an online calculator, at an IAVA Web site, that gives veterans an idea of how much money they will receive when the Post-9/11 GI Bill takes full effect on Aug. 1, 2009, with full tuition for people attending four-year public institutions, plus a monthly living expense and annual book allowance. Paul Rieckhoff, IAVA executive director, says the Web site should help answer basic questions about the new program, which has spawned a fair amount of confusion because the details underwent many changes before the final plan was enacted.
This is a great way to help veterans understand the full benefits that are available to them. Since a majority of our lawmakers are lawyers they instinctively write obtuse and undecipherable legislation that requires a specialized law degree to understand. (Consider it job security) The site gives a breakdown of the allowances for tuition, books/supplies, and monthly living. Ina addition it appears that the 10 year limit has been expanded to 15 years. Is there any thing missing from this new G.I.Bill?

Honestly I wish something like this had been available when I got out of the military. It helps to have someone break down legalese into a language we can all understand.
