Legislative history

The G.I. Bill, formally known as the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, was a law that gave benefits for some of the returning World War II veterans (known as G.I.s). The original G.I. Bill expired in 1956, but the term "G.I. Bill" is still used to talk about programs created to help American military veterans.
