From a VFW Newsletter:
Congress Improves GI Bill: Congress passed S. 3447, the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Improvements Act of 2010. Though VFW did not support all of its provisions, the bill does fix a number of shortcomings in the current Post-9/11 GI Bill. It will cover vocational and technical education courses, provide benefits to Guard and Reserve members, clarify tuition and fee reimbursement rates at private schools, and provide a living stipend to students taking classes from home (distance learning). The President is expected to sign the bill soon.
