WWII had ended and troops were returning home to the United States, ready to jump back in to civilian life. Something needed to be done to allow the troops to be reinstated into American life without flooding the job market. The government feared a breakdown of the economy causing another depression. A solution was found in the establishment of the Servicemen鈥檚 Readjustment Act of 1944; more commonly called the GI Bill.
The GI Bill has evolved into the Montgomery GI Bill and the Post 911 GI Bill. Currently, veterans of the US Armed Forces have access to funding for postsecondary school through the for certificates programs, vocational schools and colleges.
The original GI Bill included provisions for education and training Black Marcus Davenport Jersey , guaranteed home, farm and business loans, and unemployment pay. The educational benefits of the bill are the most commonly known. Approximately one-half of the 16 million WWII and Korean War veterans used the educational benefits by the time the bill expired in 1956. The diversion of thousands of vets into college kept the influx of workers into the job market manageable.
In 1966, the GI Bill was re-instituted as the Veterans Readjustment Benefits Act Black Drew Brees Jersey , later known as the Vietnam Era GI Bill.

Enactment of the Montgomery GI Bill
Education benefits remained an outstanding recruiting tool for the military and benefits were provided with the contributory Veterans Educational Assistance Program and the Montgomery GI Bill. The passage of these two programs ensured that veterans would be able to take out home loans and also provided veterans scholarships and matched educational contributions up to 8 times the amount the serviceman provided. The Montgomery GI Bill also allows benefits to be transferred to a spouse or children of the veteran.

In the summer of 2008, Congress passed the Post-911 Veterans Educational Assistance Act Black Mark Ingram II Jersey , which expanded educational benefits for those serving after September 10, 2001. The new bill provides tuition payment, a stipend for books and supplies, a housing allowance and other benefits for vets attending college Black Alvin Kamara Jersey , vocational school, trade school, or pursuing a certificate program. The benefits are tier-based on the amount of active duty time served since 911 and vary from state to state based on the cost of attending a public college.
