Veterans Benefits Administration Audit of Post-9/11 G.I. Bill Monthly Housing Allowance and Book and Stipend Payments.

摘要

The audit evaluated the Veterans Benefits Administrations (VBA) management of monthly housing allowances and book stipends paid under the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008 (Post-9/11 G.I. Bill). We assessed whether housing allowance and book stipend payments made to eligible students were paid accurately and in a timely manner. On June 30, 2008, the Post-9/11 G.I. Bill expanded education assistance benefits to veterans who were on active duty on or after September 11, 2001. The bill provided eligible veterans tuition assistance, allowed the transfer of benefits to spouses and dependent children, and authorized the payment of housing allowances and book stipends.
