The U.S. government failed to send promised college tuition checks to tens of thousands of veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars before they returned to school this fall, even after being warned that it was inadequately staffed for the job.

The group says it has been contacted by thousands of veterans who have not received their benefits and that they are forced to take out loans or pay the money out of their pockets.
Another day, another screw-up. Geez, what's he been doing for 8 months?

Recently a number of veterans have experienced prolonged delays in receiving payment for college expenses they were guaranteed in the new GI Bill passed by Congress in the summer of 2008. This has caused financial hardship in an already difficult economy, and concern about the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) system whose only mission is to serve the needs of all veterans.
