UW student veterans still wait to receive educational benefits

Educational benefits from a GI bill passed over a year ago have been severely delayed, causing many to question the bill�s implementation and seek alternate methods of educational funding.

Chuck Goranson, a Vietnam veteran and veterans benefit specialist with the local organization Vets for Vets, said the bill, called Chapter 1607, gives extra benefits to members of the National Guard and military reservists who were called to active duty in Iraq, Afghanistan and other operations concerning the war on terrorism.
