The GI Bill, officially known as the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944, was a transformative piece of legislation in the United States. It provided veterans with benefits, including funding for education, low-interest home loans, and unemployment compensation. The GI Bill played a crucial role in helping returning servicemen reintegrate into civilian life after World War II, fueling the post-war economic boom. It also contributed to the expansion of the middle class and increased access to higher education, forever changing American society.
