A regionwide survey, conduct
ed by the Cincinnati Regional
Office of the Veterans Admin
istration on the campuses of all
schools in the territory served by
that agency, disclosed that out
of 46,586 "GI" students only 276
indicated that they were exper-
fencing delay in the receipt OF
their subsistence check during
February.
In mid-February, VA circulated
news of the survey at every
school in the fifty county VA
region and invited all ex-service-
men who were experiencing de-
lays to call their case to the at
tention of the VA training Of
ficer who would visit their school
for a special check-up on delayed
subsistence. OF the 276 cases
brought to the attention of VA,
follow through work on those
cases revealed that 81 delays
were caused by incorrect adj
dress information. Another major
cause for non-receipt of a check
was failure of the veteran to
file necessary wage statements.
Each case has been cleared OF
action initiated to clear the diff
ficulty, VA officials noted. Not
blameless in the survey was VA
headquarters, for of the 276 de-
linquencies, the regional head
quarters found that 8 cases were
held up because of an error in
regional office.
