WASHINGTON - Questions asked by ex-servicemen and women pertaining to benefits the government offers them through the Veterans Administration are answered here by the VA.

Q--I am a disabled veteran taking training under Public Law 16. After I finish my course, will VA find me a job?

A--Under the law, VA's primary responsibility is to restore your ability to earn a living, in spite of your handicap. When you are ready, VA will refer you to a state or federal employment agency which will help you find a job.

Q--I want to buy a house with a GI loan. Can you tell me why it's necessary to have the house appraised by VA?

A--The law requires that the purchase price of your house must not be more than the reasonable value, as determined by proper appraisal made by an appraiser designated by VA.

Q. If I take on-the-job-training under the Korean GI Bill, will my monthly GI allowance be for the same amount, throughout my training course?

A. No. Under the law, your allowance will be reduced at four-month intervals, as your training progresses.
