WASHINGTON, D.C. 20584
RELEASED JUN 5 174,
The Honorable Vance Hartke, Chairman
( A 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-
snAjldHncetxaining. This law made major amendments t 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) 16
/ 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;
