| Abstract | This briefing report provides an evaluation of Department of Defense (DOD) plans to terminate the new GI Bill and revert to the Veterans Educational Assistance Program (VEAP). Comments are made regarding the positions of the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) and the military service. These findings are summarized: estimated cost to transition back to VEAP would be $5.4 million, estimated program savings over fiscal years 1987 to 1991 would be $194 million, comparing the new GI Bill educational costs to VEAP costs will always show the former to be more costly, Army statistics show a marked recruiting improvement since the new GI Bill was started, military service program managers believe a return to VEAP could have a negative effect on the services' ability to attract quality recruits, and participation in the new GI Bill is considerably higher than the VEAP it replaced. Other contents of this report are a summary of transition costs, an estimate of the net savings in governmental outlays by terminating the new GI Bill, and information on recruiting and retention impacts of the new GI Bill and returning to VEAP.
