G.I. Bill of Rights for veterans
On June 22, 1944, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed into law the G.I. Bill of Rights. This bill created, among other benefits, educational benefits for veterans. The bill changed the prevailing concept of education in this country and has helped veterans and other eligible persons pursue their education and training goals. Today, the legacy of the original GI Bill lives on in the Montgomery GI Bill. The Post 9/11 GI Bill is a new benefit providing educational assistance to individuals who served on active duty on or after September 11, 2001.
State Approving Agency (SAA)
State Approving Agencies (SAA’s) are authorized by Title 38 of the United States Code. Each state has a SAA that is responsible for the approval of education and training programs to ensure that each program meets the requirements of Titles 38 and 10 of the United States Code. For veterans to receive GI Bill education benefit payments, the education or training program in which they intend to enroll must be approved by the SAA. The SAA also provides continued program administrative oversight.
Minnesota SAA Approved Programs
In Minnesota, there are more than 200 institutions that are SAA approved and over 6,500 programs that are SAA approved. In addition, there are over 50 SAA approved On-The-Job (OJT) and Apprenticeship Training Programs.
