The Department of Veterans Affairs is set to launch the “Forever GI Bill” next month, a bit later than originally scheduled. Retired Maj. Gen. Robert M. Worley II, the director of VA education services, told a congressional panel last month that it has been “a complex, heavy-lift effort.”
“We made very good progress to date,” he told the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs economic opportunity subcommittee. “We didn’t get to the [July 16] date we were hoping for. We need to slip that about a month, and that’s where we are. We have a handful of defects left.”
