Vets waiting for GI Bill benefits can get emergency aid

Thousands of veterans going to school under the new Post-9/11 GI Bill will be eligible for $3,000 in emergency aid if they have not yet received their payments.

As the Cap Times reported earlier this month, veterans locally have been frustrated both with the time itâ??s taking the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to process benefits, and the lack of information available to those attempting to check on the status of their claims.
