Answer:

The G.I. Bill helps the veterans of World War II by providing them a wide range of benefits. It was signed by President Roosevelt in 1944 and was created by the American Legion.

Among the benefits, there were low-cost mortgages, low-interest loans to start a business, one year of unemployment compensation, and payments to attend high-school, college or vocational school. It was judge by historians and economists as a major economic success.

As a limitation, the Bill may be used up to 10 years since the date of the last discharge of active duty.

I hope this answer helps you.
