  • GI Bill Benefits for Older Veterans; Congress Expands Educational Benefits for Unemployed Veterans
    President Obama signed a bill that will provide an extra year of GI Bill benefits to older veterans of past wars. The bill, the only part of Mr. Obama’s jobs package to pass Congress so far, will also provide tax breaks of up to $9,600 for companies that hire unemployed veterans. The education benefit will be available to veterans ages 35 to 60 who enroll in programs leading to certificates or associate degrees at community and technical colleges.
