Veterans' Corner
Q ? I am a World War II
veteran. Does the new G.I. Bill
which went into effect on Oct.
1, 1967, extend my eligibility
for a G.I. loan to July 25, 1970?
A ? Not necessarily. The Vet
erans' Pension and Readjust
ment Assistance Act of 1967 ex
tended the final cut-off date for
certain veterans to July 25, 1970
. . . your deadline for using your
G.I. home loan entitlement de
pends upon your date of dis
charge from service and the j
length of time you served in '
the Armed Forces. Contact the
VA.
Q ? Instead of a grave mark
er given by the Army, can we
get the money to apply toward
a stone we want to buy for my
veteran father?
A ? No. The marker is furn
ished on application, but no
monetary allowance in lieu of
the marker is authorized.

I are veterans, can both of us
claim our one child as a de
| pendent to qualify for increas
ed educational assistance? I
realize, of course, that each of
us can't claim the other as a
dependent.
A ? Both of you can qualify
for the Increased educational as
sistance allowance by your
claiming your wife as a depen
dent and your wife claiming the
baby as a dependent.
Q ? How much can I borrow
