Title: Veterans Education: Increase in Rates Payable for Cooperative Training Under the Montgomery GI Bill - Active Duty 
Abstract: The Veterans' Benefits Act of 1997 provided a new statutory formula for use in calculating the monthly rates of educational assistance payable under the Montgomery GI Bill-Active Duty to someone pursuing cooperative training. For some veterans the new formula results in a retroactive increase in the monthly rate for cooperative training pursued after October 8, 1996. The regulation governing rates of basic educational assistance payable under the Montgomery GI Bill- active Duty to certain veterans pursuing cooperative training will be changed in accordance with the statutory formula.
