Veterans Administration
payment tapes for G.I. Bill
education checks due 219,279
veterans were being processed at
the Department of Treasury
disbursing office in Kansas City,
Missouri, within minutes after the
President signed the $15-billion
second supplemental bill.
This was reported this week
by Richard L. Roudebush,
Airman selected
for training
Airman Randall L. Freeman,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Darold L.
Freeman, Sheiton, has been
selected for technical training in
the U. S. Air Force aircraft
maintenance field at Sheppard Air
Force Base, Texas.
The airman recently
completed basic training at
Lackland Air Force Base, Texas,
where he studied the Air Force
mission, organization and customs
and received special instruction in
human relations.
Airman Freeman attended
Shelton High School.
ins
plan
administrator of Veterans Affairs,
who said VA had been assured by
Treasury Department officials
that they would do everything
possible to process the checks and
place them in the mail at the
earliest possible moment.
The payment of G.I. Bill
education checks had been halted
since June 1 when funds in VA's
education and training accounts
were depleted.
The VA, Roudebush said, had
continued completing all of the
paperwork processing for each of
the delayed payment cycles just
as though the checks were going
to be paid on schedule. As a
result, he added, VA processing
was already done when the
President signed the bill into law
and veterans were thus assured of
no administrative delay in the
VA.
In addition, a VA courier had
flown the completed payment
tapes from the agency's computer
center at Hines, Illinois, to Kansas
City for immediate delivery to the
treasury office as soon as the
President approved the legislation.
A total of $62,839,000 is
represented in the 219,279 checks
now being processed in Kansas
City.
The sum includes $45.7
million due 158,686 veterans for
delayed payment tapes that
normally would have gone to
treasury on June 2, June 6, and
June 9.
Another $17,162,000 for an
additional 60,593 veterans was
included in the tape delivery for
the regular VA pay cycle due at
treasury on June 13.
With the supplemental money
now available, Roudebush said,
additional VA payment tapes due
at treasury on June 16, 20, June
25 and June 27 will be delivered
promptly on the due dates.
The vast majority of G.I. Bill
checks due veteran-trainees were
paid on schedule June 1 before
VA ran out of money. These June
1 checks, totaling some $222
million, were sent to more than
900,000 trainees.
Every man must be
Virtuous and vicious every man
must be,
Few in th' extreme, but all in
the degree.
