Veterans should have access to these benefits for life. Many of us are lost and a bit confused about what to do after the service and 10 years goes by very fast. I only had access to a small portion of the gi bill benefits and would love to finish my degree. Can we do anything to get involved and push this along? If anyone wants to contact me about this and do something, email me at steveruss@comcast.net... 41692@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 08 Sep 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_3082.html#24813 USMC-Sgt,veteran of 7 years. I can not believe anyone would vote against permanent benefits for the veterans. Only Nazis, Communists or Terrorists would work to demoralize the military. You should only allow former vets to vote on this-- especially those of us who were actually shot at!... 24813@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 17 Dec 2007 00:00:00 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/history/110_HR_3082.html?rev=11613 <p>H.R. 3082 would amend title 38, United States Code, to extend the time limitation for the use of entitlement to educational assistance under the Montgomery GI Bill for certain persons actively pursuing a qualifying educational degree or certificate.</p> <h2 id="toc0"> Detailed Summary </h2> <p>Montgomery GI Bill Degree Extension Act of 2007 - Extends the time limitation (generally ten years from the original eligibility date) for the use of educational assistance under the Montgomery GI Bill all-volunteer force educational assistance program, in the case of an individual who has completed at least 50% of the credit or time requirements leading to a degree or certificate before the last day of the ten-year period, to the earlier of: (1) the date on which the individual completes such requirements; or (2) two years after the last day of the ten-year period.</p> <!--Leave in the 'summary' tags if you want the latest summary from the Congressional Research Service automatically to replace the text between the tags once it becomes available. --> <h2 id="toc1"> Status of the Legislation </h2> <p>Latest Major Action: 8/14/2007: Referred to House subcommittee.
