VFW WASHINGTON WEEKLY January 31, 2014 New GI Bill Complaint - TopicsExpress

VFW WASHINGTON WEEKLY January 31, 2014 New GI Bill Complaint System Launched: VFW applauded this weeks rollout of a new consolidated complaint system to help VA and its agency partners weed out fraud and abuse within educational institutions that serve student veterans. The new system, which VFW National Commander Bill Thien called a game changer, is something VFW has made part of its education reform priorities for the last two years. It will allow veterans, service members and eligible dependents who use GI Bill benefits, military Tuition Assistance, or other federal aid the ability to report fraud, waste and abuse securely online. The new complaint process was one of two major consumer resources set into motion by a 2012 presidential executive order and codified through the Improving Transparency in Education for Veterans Act of 2012.
