Veterans' Education and Employment Amendments of 1984. Report to Accompany H.R. 5398. House of Representatives, 98th Congress, 2d Session.
Congress of the U.S., Washington, DC. House Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
This Congressional report presents and examines the Veterans' Education and Employment Amendments of 1984. The purpose of these amendments is (1) to provide a 15 percent increase in the rates of educational assistance paid under the GI bill and the rate of subsistence allowances paid under the Veterans' Administration rehabilitation program for veterans with service-connected disabilities and (2) to revise and extend the veterans' readjustment appointments program for the appointment of veterans in the civil service. Included in the report are the following: the text of the amendments, a discussion of their background, a summary of their main points, a section-by-section analysis, an estimate of their cost, and an analysis of the changes that they will effect in benefits paid to provide training and rehabilitation services to veterans with service-connected disabilities, to secure special assistance for educationally disadvantaged veterans, to fund educational programs pursued by veterans' survivors and dependents, and to obtain employment and training for disabled and Vietnam-era veterans.
