The G.I. Bill (policy)

The G.I. Bill, officially known as the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944, is a U.S. law providing various benefits to returning World War II veterans, known as GIs. It offers financial assistance for education, housing, and unemployment to help veterans transition to civilian life. The bill has been revised over the years to support veterans from later conflicts and their families. Key benefits include covering tuition for college, vocational training, and home loan guarantees, making it a significant factor in expanding higher education and the middle class in America.
