Bill education benefits for thousands of Vietnam Era veterans will expire May 31, 1974, the Veterans administration emphasized the May, 1974, expiration date does not affect G.I. Bill job or farm cooperative training, ap­ prenticeship or flight training benefits for these veterans. This clarification was made by Administrator of Veterans Affairs Donald E. Johnson. He pointed out that most education benefits for those discharged prior to June 1, 19W>, would expire on May 31, 1974, the eighth anniversary of the current G.I. Bill. The 1966 law allows each veteran eight years to complete his training. The time is computed from the individual's date of discharge or from the date of the law, whichever is later. Johnson explained that the original bill did not include flight, apprenticeship, on-the- job and farm-cooperative training, so eligibility for these benefits will not expire for Post Korean veterans until August 30, 1975, which is eight years after the date they were authorized by law. The administrator noted that 1.4 million, or 33 percent, of 4.1 million veterans made eligible by the 1966 law have used all or part of their education benefits. The current G.I. Bill provided eligibility to all veterans discharged since January 31, 1955, many of whom had been out of service several years before they became eligible, the VA chief pointed out. The overall participation rale for Vietnam Era veterans is about 46 percent. VA pays veterans (with no dependents) $220 monthly if they are full-time trainees, with higher rates for those with dependents. On-job trainees with no dependents arc paid a starting allowance of $160 monthly-larger checks go to those with dependents. Em­ ployers also pay the veteran- trainee wages, which are in­ creased on a regular schedule during the training period. Veterans whose benefits may soon expire, or any eligible veteran interested in G.I. Bill benefits, are urged to contact any VA office or represen­ tatives of local veterans service organizations.
