Legal Status
This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.
Veterans Educational Benefits
On June 22, 1944, the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944 became law. It was commonly known as the G.I. Bill of Rights. Since the original 1944 law, the term has come to include other veterans' benefit programs created to assist veterans of subsequent wars as well as peacetime service, including the Montgomery G.I. Bill, the Post-9/11 Veterans Education Assistance Improvements Act of 2010, and the Survivors' and Dependents' Educational Assistance Program. The Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense, and several other agencies participate in administering educational programs for veterans.
