VETERANS MUST PROVE ELIGIBILITY

Veterans attending colleges and universities under the G-I Bill must obtain supplemental certificates of eligibility from Veterans Administration if they plan to enroll in a new school this summer or next fall. The certificates should be requested from the VA regional office at least 30 days before the date the term opens at the new S.choot. Advance requests will help speed prompt payment of subsistence allowances after the start of the new term. Supplemental certificates to the original certificate of eligibility issued by VA are necessary only when a veteran changes from one school or training establishment to another. Veterans who will attend a different school this summer from the one in which they are now enrolled should apply immediately for their new certificates. If they will not enter the new school until the fall term, they may wait until later on this summer. Those veterans changing schools for the summer term and planning to return to their present institution next fall will need a second supplemental certificate to enable them to re-enter their present school at that time. The veteran’s full name, correct address, VA claim number and present training establishment

should be included in any request for new certificates. For complete information regarding veterans’ benefits get in ‘ touch with the Veterans Admin- | istration Office, Purdue University 545 Northwestern Avenue, West Lafayette, Indiana.
