All Trojan veterans under the GI bill must complete “Estimate of Compensation from Productive Labor’” forms and return them to the Office of Veterans Affairs. These forms are not to be confused with “Trainee Report of Earnings” sent through the mail this month.
The “Estimate of Compensa-sation” blanks must be obtained at the veterans’ campus headquarters, 834 West 36th street, and will not be sent through the mail. The rule, recently instituted by the Veterans administration, applies to all students under Public Law 679, whether they be day students, or evening students.
The form requires statements both from veterans and employers as to length and schedule of employment, wages received, and bonuses or commissions granted. Failure to submit reports may result in cancellation of subsistence payments.
