The Post-Vietnam Veterans' Educational Assistance Program, or VEAP (chapter 32 of title 38, U.S. Code) and the Educational Assistance Pilot Program (Section 903 of Public Law 96-342) were enacted by Congress to attract high quality men and women to the all-voluntary Armed Forces. VEAP provides education and training opportunities to eligible persons who contributed to the program while on active duty. This pamphlet provides a general description of these benefits, including information on how participants receive payments, and suggestions on where they should go for help or more information.
