	Learn About Congress: GI Bill
		The G.I. Bill was enacted to help members of the Armed Forces adjust to civilian life after leaving military service by restoring educational and vocational opportunities that were lost due to active military duty.
		Later amendments to the G.I. Bill provided assistance to children of veterans whose education was disrupted by the disability or death of a military parent.
		The bill was considered a success because the millions of veterans who took advantage of its benefits to attend school instead of seeking immediate employment reduced the anticipated levels of unemployment in the post-war recovery period.

	'The GI Bill Experience at NC State' Exhibition - NCSU Libraries, 2004
		In the all-volunteer military, the GI Bill has operated in a way similar to civilian retirement programs: service personnel contribute part of their pay, which is matched several times over by the government.
		From the perspective of six decades, the legacy of the GI Bill transcends specific issues of veterans benefits–encompassing two general principles about the relationship between citizens and government in a democratic society.
		Estimates are that some 450,000 engineers, 240,000 accountants, 238,000 teachers, and 91,000 scientists advanced their education under the first GI Bill, as did thousands of lawyers, doctors, dentists, journalists, members of the clergy, corporate executives, skilled crafts workers and technical specialists.

		Even if you don't plan to use your GI Bill education benefit right away, submit the applicable forms early so when you do want to file a claim to start withdrawing money from your account you won't have to wait more than a week or so.
		The buy-up program allows anyone who is participating in the Montgomery GI Bill program to contribute up to $600 (in increments as small as $20 per pay period) at any time before leaving active duty.
		Top Up is a really good deal because your total GI Bill education benefit is reduced only by the actual amount used to pay the difference between the total tuition cost and the amount paid for with Tuition Assistance.
