computation of education and training allowances Sec. 232. (a) The education and training allowance of an eligible veteran who is pursuing a program of education or training in an educational institution and is not entitled to receive an education and training allowance under Subsection (b), (c), (d), (e), or (f) shall be computed as follows: (1) If such program is pursued on a full-time basis, such allowance shall be computed at the rate of $110 per month, if the veteran has no dependent, or at the rate of $135 per month, if he has 66 Stat. 669one dependent, or at the rate of $160 per month, if he has more than one dependent. (2) If such program is pursued on a three-quarters time basis, such allowance shall be computed at the rate of $80 per month, if the veteran has no dependent, or at the rate of $100 per month, if he has one dependent, or at the rate of $120 per month, if he has more than one dependent. (3) If such program is pursued on a halftime basis, such allowance shall be computed at the rate of $50 per month, if the veteran has no dependent, or at the rate of $60 per month, if he has one dependent, or at the rate of $80 per month, if he has more than one dependent. (b) The education and training allowance of an eligible veteran who is pursuing a full-time program of education and training which consists of institutional courses and on-the-job training, with the on-the-job training portion of the program being strictly supplemental to the institutional portion, shall be computed at the rate of (1) $90 per month, if he has no dependent, or (2) $110 per month, if he has one dependent, or (3) $130 per month, if he has more than one dependent. (c) The education and training allowance of an eligible veteran pursuing apprentice or other training on the job shall be computed at the rate of (1) $70 per month, if he has no dependent, or (2) $85 per month, if he has one dependent, or (3) $105 per month, if he has more than one dependent; except that his education and training allowance shall be reduced at the end of each four-month period as his program progresses by an amount which bears the same ratio to the basic education and training allowance as four months bears to the total duration of his apprentice or other training on the job; but in no case shall the Administrator pay an education and training allowance under this subsection in an amount which, when added to the compensation to be paid to the veteran, in accordance with his approved training program, for productive labor performed as a part of his course, would exceed the rate of $310 per month. For the purpose of computing allowances under this subsection, the duration of the training of an eligible veteran shall be the period specified in the approved application as the period during which he may receive an education and training allowance for such training, plus such additional period, if any, as is necessary to make the number of months of such training a multiple of four. (d) The education and training allowance of an eligible veteran pursuing institutional on-farm training shall be computed at the rate of (1) $95 per month, if he has no dependent, or (2) $110 per month, if he has one dependent, or (3) $130 per month, if he has more than one dependent; except that his education and training allowance shall be reduced at the end of each four-month period as his program progresses by an amount which bears the same ratio to $65 per month, if the veteran has no dependent, or $80 per month, if he has one dependent, or $100 per month, if he has more than one dependent, as four months bears to the total duration of such veteran’s institutional on-farm training. For the purpose of computing allowances under this subsection, the duration of the training of an eligible veteran shall be the period specified in the approved application as the period during which he may receive an education and training allowance for such training, plus such additional period, if any, as is necessary to make the number of such months of such training a multiple of four. (e) The education and training allowance of an eligible veteran pursuing a program of education or training exclusively by correspond-66 Stat. 670ence shall be computed on the basis of the established charge which the institution requires nonveterans to pay for the course or courses pursued by the eligible veteran. Such allowance shall be paid quarterly on a pro rata basis for the lessons completed by the veteran and serviced by the institution, as certified by the institution. (f) The education and training allowance of an eligible veteran who is pursuing a program of education or training under this title in an educational institution on a less-than-halftime basis shall be computed at the rate of (1) the established charges for tuition and fees which the institution requires similarly circumstanced nonveterans enrolled in the same course to pay, or (2) $110 per month for a full-time course, whichever is the lesser. (g) Each eligible veteran who is pursuing an approved course of flight training shall be paid an education and training allowance to be computed at the rate of 75 per centum of the established charge which similarly circumstanced non veterans enrolled in the same flight course are required to pay for tuition for the course. If such veteran’s program of education or training consists exclusively of flight training, he shall not be paid an education and training allowance under one of the preceding subsections of this section: if his program of education or training consists of flight training and other education or training, the allowance payable under this subsection shall be in addition to any education and training allowance payable to him under one of the preceding subsections of this section for education or training other than flight training. Such allowance shall be paid monthly upon receipt of certification from the eligible veteran and the institution as to the actual flight training received by the veteran. In each such case the eligible veteran’s period of entitlement shall be charged (in addition to any charge made against his entitlement by reason of education or training other than flight training) with one day for each $1.25 which is paid to the veteran as an education and training allowance for such course. (h) No eligible veteran shall be paid an education and training allowance under this title for any period during which (1) he is enrolled in and pursuing a course of education or training paid for by the United States under any provision of law other than this title, where the payment of such allowance would constitute a duplication of benefits paid to the veteran from the Federal Treasury, or (2) he is pursuing a course of apprentice or other training on the job, a course of institutional on-farm training, or a course of education and training described in subsection (b), on a less than full-time basis.
