A closer look at the ongoing reparations movement in California and beyond. T he GI Bill was established in to help "qualifying Veterans and their family members get money to cover all or some of the costs for school and training," according to the US Department of Veterans Affairs. While the government paid for the college education of White veterans and provided other types of financial aid to them, Black veterans were denied access to the full benefits of the bill -- an exclusionary practice r epeated in other key US policies of the 20th century.
So many Black families were denied this path to the middle class. It is important to acknowledge this injustice and help address the wealth gap that was exacerbated by the government's failure to fulfill this promise to World War II veterans of color," Clyburn said in a statement.
Did pretty well, invested wisely and took care of myself. After my retirement, I check into VA health benefits and learned that I was minimally qualified at the lowest level.
That means I get charged co-pays and fees like Medicare for VA health services. Yes, I can take care of myself, but had I been unsuccessful, broke and in poor health the VA would take care of me. Who chose the better path and is it fair? Has there been any progress made with the co-pay forgiveness plan? I scrapped up a considerable amount of money and made a large payment before I heard about it.

Attention A T users. Nearly six in 10 veterans who took out a loan said the money was needed to cover living expenses, rather than extra school-related costs. The non-tuition money is designed to provide students with a sufficient financial safety net to avoid having to work a full-time job while finishing course work. But researchers said the results show that the stipend does not cover all expenses for all students. Of veterans who took out loans, 21 percent said they needed the money just to cover the full cost of their housing.
