D.C. 20840 B-114859 JUNi 5 1974 0 qq2- The Honorable Vance Hartke, Chairman CV Committee on Veterans' Affairs - ,,United States Senate Dear Mr. Chairman: In September 1973, your Committee requested that we make a limited examination into the impact that certain provisions of the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1972 (Public Law 92-540) have had on veterans taking corre- spondence training. This law made major amendments to the GI Bill benefiting veterans, including --requiring that enrollment agreements fully disclose the obligations of both the institution and the veter- ans, providing veterans with a full 10-day period after the date of enrollment to change their mind about taking the training and receive a full refund of all monies paid, and --requiring correspondence schools to charge veterans based on a percentage of lessons completed rather than on length of time enrolled. The law also provided that the Veterans Administration (VA) /6 - reimburse veterans for 90 percent, rather than 100 percent, of the cost of correspondence courses and made certain wives and widows eligible for correspondence training under the GI Bill. As requested by your Committee, we have examined into the implementation of these provisions at eight selected corre- spondence schools. Specifically, we were requested to deter- mine if --the veterans are being given a 10-day period after enrollment to reconsider their enrollment and, if they decide to cancel, the schools have made a full refund of any tuition payments made; BESTDOU 4IB .
