| Abstract: | The Department of Veterans' Affairs (VA), previously named the Veterans Administration, has been providing veterans' educational assistance (GI Bill®) benefits since 1944. Since 1947, State Approving Agencies (SAAs) have been an important component in the administration of GI Bill benefits, along with the VA, educational institutions, and training establishments. This report provides an overview of state approving agencies (SAAs). It highlights their roles and responsibilities in the administration of GI Bill benefits and the processes through which they fulfill those roles. Because work processes and responsibilities are variable and subject to regular adjustment, the descriptions herein are accurate as of the date of publication. Additionally, in a limited number of instances the report identifies some divergent depictions of work processes from difference sources, but it does not attempt to evaluate or reconcile differences in the accounts. |
