GI Bill of Rights

[2michaela]

The GI Bill of Rights or Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944 signed by President Roosevelt, guaranteed the veterans of WWII one year of unemployment as well as college and vocational education. It allowed for many other loans to be granted for veterans to buy homes and start businesses if they please. Since signed, this bill has gave war veterans more benefits created by programs and amendments have allowed money to be saved for veterans to go towards training and education.

There were six main benefits that came out of this bill:

• Education and training
• Loan guarantees for a home, farm, or business
• Unemployment pay of $20 per week for up to fifty-two weeks
• Job-location assistance
• Building materials for VA hospitals as a priority
• Military review of dishonorable discharges

The GI Bill was a great way to treat the military when they got back. Made things a lot easier when getting home because of course they probably had post-war affects mentally and physically.
