Veterans
Corner
Q - Recently I started
training at Stale University. I
now find that I would like to
return to my home town and
enter a junior college foi the
first two years. Is this
permissible undei the Ci.I Hill.'
A ? Yes. as long as vour
ultimate training objective
remains the same. You may
transfer between recognized
colleges and universities.
Contact your nearest VA ottice
and request approval of the
school you now desire to
attend.
Q -- I have been attending
college on the G.I. Bill lor the
past two years. I married ilnce
months after I enrolled but VA
still pays me as a single person.
Why? '
A --You have not previously
notified VA of your marriage.
You can receive the additional
allowance for one dependent
when you submit a declaration
of marital status and a certified
copy of the public record of
your marriage. The effective ?
date of the increase will be the
day you first advised the VA of
your marriage provided tile
proof is furnished within one
vcar.
Q - I am a widow of a WW
II veteran, working full lime
and have an annual income
exceeding S3200. Due to
income limitation, I am not
eligible for pension. Will my
daughter, age 16, be eligible for
the S40 monthly pension
benefit? Her income consists of
SS5 per month insurance
annuity and S106 per month
Social Security benefit. I
understand 109? of annuities
will be deducted, which will
reduce my daughter's
accountable income to less
than the SI 800 limit for
children.
A - Your daughter would be
eligible for pension, as the 15C'
exclusion would reduce her
accountable income to SI73l>.
This answer assumes your child
does not have a sizable estate.
Q - I am attending school
under the G.I. Bill and am
receiving SI55 per month lor
myself and dependent wife Do
I have to report to the VA if
my wife goes to work0 Will she
be dropped as my dependent,
if she is to make a certain
amount of money?
A ?? The answer to both of
your questions is "No." The
amount of your wife's income
has no bearing on your
dependency status as far as
educational assistance is
concerned.
Q - I am a disabled veteran
and I have been advised I may
be eligible for vocational
rehabilitation over the regular
G I. Bill to which I also have
entitlement?
A -? Vocational
rehabilitation allows a wider
vuiety of training, a longer'
period of training (if required),
and more money. With few
exceptions, it would be to youi
advantage to take vocational
rehabilitation rather than
training under the regular G.I
Bill.
