 <\/i>Portland, Oreg\u00f3n<\/b> \u2013 El senador de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley, elogi\u00f3 el anuncio de hoy del Departamento de Asuntos de Veteranos (VA) de que la beca Fry estar\u00e1 disponible a partir del 3 de noviembre de 2014 para los c\u00f3nyuges de miembros del servicio que fallecieron en servicio activo. Esta beca ampliada es el resultado de una legislaci\u00f3n redactada por el senador Merkley y aprobada como ley este verano.<\/p>\n

\n

"Nuestras familias de militares enfrentan muchos desaf\u00edos y cuando ocurre una tragedia, merecen la oportunidad de reconstruir sus vidas a trav\u00e9s de oportunidades educativas", dijo Merkley. "Tuve el honor de luchar por este cambio en Washington y es una gran noticia que el VA se haya apresurado a poner en pr\u00e1ctica esta legislaci\u00f3n".<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Antes de la aprobaci\u00f3n de la legislaci\u00f3n del senador Merkley, los c\u00f3nyuges de los militares ca\u00eddos s\u00f3lo eran elegibles para beneficios educativos limitados. La Ley de Educaci\u00f3n para C\u00f3nyuges de H\u00e9roes de Merkley los hace elegibles para la Beca Fry, que actualmente proporciona matr\u00edcula y tarifas estatales completas a los hijos de miembros del servicio que han muerto en el cumplimiento del deber. Este cambio permitir\u00e1 a los c\u00f3nyuges recibir el costo total de la matr\u00edcula y las tarifas p\u00fablicas estatales de pregrado, adem\u00e1s de un estipendio mensual de manutenci\u00f3n y un subsidio para libros de texto. <\/p>\n

El senador Merkley present\u00f3 la Ley de Educaci\u00f3n para C\u00f3nyuges de H\u00e9roes en 2013 con el patrocinio bipartidista del senador Dean Heller (R-NV). La idea de esta legislaci\u00f3n surgi\u00f3 del veterano de Oreg\u00f3n Robert Thornhill, quien se puso en contacto con el senador Merkley y sugiri\u00f3 la idea de ampliar la beca a los c\u00f3nyuges de los miembros del servicio que murieron en el servicio activo.<\/p>\n

El VA identificar\u00e1 a los c\u00f3nyuges sobrevivientes elegibles para este programa y les enviar\u00e1 una carta con informaci\u00f3n comparativa sobre los beneficios disponibles e instrucciones sobre c\u00f3mo hacer una elecci\u00f3n. La informaci\u00f3n sobre este programa est\u00e1 disponible en el sitio web de VA y en el sitio web de GI Bill (http:\/\/www.benefits.va.gov\/gibill<\/a>).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
