In today’s news…
“The Department of Defense has suspended a program that provides
members of the military with money to attend college because of the federal
government shutdown. Branches of the armed forces will not authorize tuition
assistance for new classes during a government shutdown, a Pentagon official
wrote in a blog
post this week”.
“In addition to rejecting new requests for the benefits, the Army
said in a statement that it could not process some existing requests that were
received before the shutdown began on October 1”.
“The Department of Veterans Affairs, meanwhile, said
it is continuing to process veterans’ education benefits, but that could stop
if the shutdown drags on longer than several weeks. The agency has already
closed its education call center because of the shutdown”.
Imagine this: ‘good morning even though you have the money we are
not going to let you finish school because we do not feel like it’!
Remember we the people?
