1T PAYS TO ADVERTISE
The coastland times. [volume] (Mnateo [i.e. Manteo], N.C.) 1947-1959, 1954-09-03
NEWS
FOR VETERANS

Post-Korea veterans now have
three years from the date of their
discharge to start Korea CT Bill
training, under a new law signed
by the President August 20, 1854.
Particularly benefited are the
majority of veterans discharged
before August 20, 1852. Under
the old law, they had to start
training before August 20 of this
year. But since most fall school
terms begin in September, those
unable to get in training before
that deadline would have lost
their entitlement.
The new law, which re-estab-
lished their entitlement for an
other year from their date of
separation, permits those with
extended headlines to enroll for
the fall term.
For veterans discharged after
August 20, 1852, the new law al
lows them to start training with
in three years of their separation
date. Under the old law, they
had only two years.
But veterans who were sep
arated before August 20, 1851
still will not be able to make fall
terms this year. Neither will vet
Grams separated shortly after that
date, whose three-year headlines
end before the 1854 school year
begins.
The new law also adds another
year to the wind-up of the Kor-
can CT Bill training program.
Training now must come to an
end within eight years from the
date of a veterans separation, or
eight years from the end of the
present emergency peri o d.
whichever comes first. 1t prevl-
ously was seven years.
Another section of the law
benefits some disabled veterans
who have not been able to begin
or complete training under the
special vocational training pro-
gram for disabled veterans of
World War II and post-Korea.
These veterans get four-year
extension in their deadline for
completing training, in certain
cases. Veterans to whom the ex-
tension applies are: (D Those
whose severe disabilities have
prevented them from entering or
completing training, ~ those
who originally received dis
charges barring them from train
ing, but whose discharges later
were changed too late to permit
them to enter and complete
training. An other than dishon-
orable discharge is requirement
for this kind of vocational train
ing, (3) those for whom a serv-
.ice-connected disability was not
established in time to begin and
complete a course of training.
COMPENSATE ice-connected
disability is another eligibility
requirement.
