Show VETERANS here's your answers Q -1 just received an honorable discharge after two years of military duty. I hear the Veterans Administration provides free GI Bill benefits for veterans like me who didn't finish high school. Is that true? A - Yes, and the assistance won't be charged against your basic entitlement. Suggest you apply to the VA regional office in your state. Q - What are some of the advantages ad-vantages of GI home loans? I had three years of military service before my discharge two years ago, and I am thinking of applying for this benefit from the Veterans Administration. A - Because VA guarantees 60 percent of loans - up to $17,500 whichever is less - down-payments down-payments are either small or not required, and there usually is a long repayment period with no penalty for early repayment. Also, VA appraises the house before purchase to determine its reasonable value. Q - I've been out of military service six months, but can't find a job. What suggestions does the Veterans Administration Ad-ministration have? A - Visit your local state employment em-ployment service office and take your Form DD 214 with you. If a job is not available, you will be allowed to apply for unemployment compensation. You also should check your regional VA office and U.S. Veterans Assistance Center if you are close to them. 1 i |
