text:
The DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE was a department in the Government of New Brunswick, Canada. It was responsible for management of the Province's Agriculture industries. The member of the Executive Council responsible for the department was initially called the COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE. The department would become known as the DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT in the late 1990s.

From 1882, the Department of Agriculture was also responsible for fisheries until 1963 when the government of Premier Louis Robichaud created a separate Department of Fisheries. This department would be renamed the DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES & AQUACULTURE which in 2000 was merged with the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development to become the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Aquaculture. This department lasted until October 3, 2006 when Premier Shawn Graham split the departments into the Department of Agriculture and Aquaculture and reestablished the separate Department of Fisheries.

Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the article say about the history of the name of the Department of Agriculture in the Government of New Brunswick?

answer: The Department of Agriculture was originally called the COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE. In the late 1900s, the department was renamed the DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT. In 2006, the department was split into the Department of Agriculture and Aquaculture and the Department of Fisheries.

text: The department wasn't called the "Commissioner of Agriculture," the person in charge was.

He looked up as Dr. Sun walked into the office. He was nervous; his wife hadn’t been the same lately. He could see that something was wrong. At first he thought nothing of it, but once the quakes started happening he knew she needed to be taken in to see the doctor.

“I’m afraid I have negative news to report to you sir. She’s very ill. She appears to have some sort of parasites on her. They are incredibly destructive. At first her body didn’t recognize them, but now that it has, it’s trying too hard to fight them off.  You may have noticed this. I’m sorry Mr. Neptune, she has a very slim chance of living. She is still very contagious. Try to keep yourself and your family protected.”

 He began to weep, thinking about his family. Together they had six children and a dog, how would he cope without her. He walked into her room and looked at her. Her big beautiful green eyes looked dead, only her salty tears confirmed she was still alive.

I walked a mile to burn you, over parking lots and highways, across crowded children's playgrounds and the greenest of parks, through cricket games and grass half as tall as me, to a place under a tree where a man led me to ask for a lighter for his already-lit joint and to say I'd like a London kisser, a place littered with empty cans and torn up newspapers. It took three tries to light you, my thumb sore from endless fags and holding on to moving trains. Your smoke pooled around me despite how hard I tried to blow it all away, settling in my hair and skin. I immolated you while an aeroplane roared over the music in my head (praying for the death of a man i'll never meet) and cricketers shouted soundlessly, a field away. I watched you burn, cross-eyed, right down to your end, to the very first scrawled letter.

It was your idea, really, writing names on cigarettes.

title: Lucky fag.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What is the setting of the story?

answer: The narrator smokes a cigarette as they walk through a park.

refinement: The setting is outdoors under a tree in a field, over parking lots, highways, crowded children's playgrounds, parks, and cricket games.

answer: Unclear - could be anywhere

text: "Unclear - could be anywhere" - it was clearly stated that the narrator was walking over parking lots, parks, and other locations.

refinement: The setting of the story is outside, over parking lots, highways, crowded children's playgrounds, parks, cricket games, and under a tree.

answer: The setting of the story is outside. The narrator is walking.

text: "The "lucky fag" is the already lit joint which the narrator is walking to in order to light." - is incorrect. It is a cigarette.

answer: The person using the panellized expression the "lucky fag" seems to be writing names on cigarette packages.

text: "The person using the panellized expression the "lucky fag" seems to be writing names on cigarette packages." - panellized expression doesn't make any sense.

Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What's a London kisser?

answer: A London kisser is slang term for a cigarette. The speaker has walked miles under the blazing sun to get just one.

text:
It was my first visit to this dentist. I noticed that the office was just a tad off. There were a number of teenagers, who seemed too young to be working in a dentist’s office. Rock and roll music was playing, I believe Led Zeppelin, and it gave the place and air of a club house.

The dentist would see me shortly, but I was pretty sure I was seeing him at the reception area sniffing like mad. It could have been a cold, but with my extreme paranoia, coupled with the music and the teenage kids, I assumed he was a coke addict. I may or may not have been on cocaine at the time. I can’t remember. It gets fuzzy at this age.

One does not come to such an assumption (that a dentist is a coke fiend) lightly, but it was a new dentist and no one likes the dentist and the mind wonders with nothing but a Time magazine and a Keurig coffee.

Finally, the time approached and I was called in to receive my cleaning. I was approached by a beautiful blond who instructed me to lie still while she began my cleaning.

I couldn’t help but notice all the women in the office were beautiful blonds. My theory on coke use soon was compounded by a theory of wanton women cleaning teeth and giving happy endings.

But no happy ending was given. I was left alone after the cleaning to talk to the dentist. Most dentists and orthodontists will leave the cleaning and maintenance work to staff and just come by to just look at your mouth and make the extreme decisions that make their PhDs worthwhile and notable.

The dentist approached me and commented on my shoes. He liked them. In my mind, I formed an idea of a swinging dentist who ran a brothel, snorted cocaine, and occasionally dabbled in same sex couplings. There’s nothing wrong with the latter, but I was in no mood to shoot down a PhD. I don’t think I would have it in me. Heterosexual or not, there is something about doctors orders – you take them.

He began talking and I volunteered the information that I was a smoker. I wanted him braced for any staining and bad breath. Dirty smokers do have some nerve coming to see dentists when they have no care for not only their teeth, but there lungs, heart, etc. I felt bad for the man and his being forced to look down the barrel of a tobacco’d maw.

He didn’t seem to mind the admission, however, and he related to me that his friend had tried to quit smoking and told him that it was tougher than giving up cocaine.

For those that thought the paranoia was just paranoia – AH HA!

“Really?” I said.

He went on to tell me about the friend and then began asking me about work. I explained my job the best I could. Having little or no interest in one’s own job makes it a hard conversational piece.

But he nodded in all the right parts and continued sniffing. He could have had a cold or he could have been smuggling smack out the back on donkeys, anything was possible.

He then began talking about some of the dumb things he did as a kid. I laughed along until he got to a part where he was explaining his carefree youth. He started the story on the end of another story about toilet papering houses. His mood was jovial and with each word you heard a laugh at the back of his throat, like he was explaining some elaborate joke. He began:

“Then there was this one time. Me and my buddy, well we decided to get all dressed up in Mormon garb and go biking around town.”

It came out as the beginning of a joke. And with my idea of a coke-addled polygamist bisexual I was ready to assume the worst: that this man had dressed up as a Mormon missionary with a buddy as a joke. It was at this point I decided to not return. But to just take the tension out of his admission of mean-spirited religious joking, I:

“You mean as a goof?”

His face turned sour. He then “No. I was a missionary in the Mormon church.”

My reality from coming into the office to that moment was shattered. This was not a coke sniffing polygamist bisexual, but an upstanding Mormon of the utmost decency.

I felt like a royal bastard. The man had to have thought I decided the only reason you would dress up in Mormon gear was as a goof. I began back peddling. I began explaining how much I admired the Mormon religion. I pledged allegiance to Mitt Romney…

The man had his hands in my mouth – what else could I do?

The moral of the story is never assume a dentist is a coked out polygamist bisexual who runs a brothel and makes light of other religions – because you would be wrong.

Most of the time.

text:
My name is Chris Smith. I am 15 years old and I live in the middle of a forest in Kansas. I am home schooled by my mom, and my dad is a business man in a town nearby. He leaves for work early and gets home late so I rarely see him. I am an only child and my best friend Taylor lives about a mile away. My favorite part about living in a forest is my shed.. I go there all the time, and it is filled with my favorite things.
Last night, my mom told me about a man who killed a lot of people in a town not far from where my dad works. His name was Damien, but people usually called him Zarius. He lived there in the 1800s and he was caught and executed 6 years after the murders and that was the end of the story.
Today, when I woke up, I felt a little strange. I was very tired, despite sleeping for more than usual, and my whole body felt numb. Then, I felt as if something was pulling me towards the shed. It felt like there was something I needed to see. It felt like, fate was puling me to it.
I walked to it, and it felt suspicious. As I got closer, my need to go in it grew exponentially. There was a strange light coming from it. I walked in to see what was going on.
When I walked in, I felt something. I lost all control of my body and I couldn't move. It was completely black and I felt lonely, as if all in the world was slowly leaving me. After a few minutes, I was unconscious. I couldn't see or feel, rather than seeing and feeling the nothingness that surrounded me.
Suddenly, I woke up. I had no idea where I was or what time it is. There was the dim light of the darkness, so I knew I was seeing actual things. And, I could feel. I felt the wet floor under me and I could hear dripping.
I got up and looked around. Nothing gave me any clue to where I was. I heard a noise at the end of the corridor. I grabbed a piece of wood and waited. I saw a silhouette of what seemed like a man. I yelled “Hello” but rather than responding, it made a groaning sound. I heard the wet footsteps of his running and shortly after, it turned it's lantern on. It came around the corner and I got a good look at it.
It had the basic shape of a human, but it was still very deformed. It had a very ugly face and no eyes. It looked as if there was an “x” stitched where it's eyes should be. It had no nose and it didn't seem like it had ears or hair.
It walked towards me. I tried to stay still but I wanted to run. Just as I was about to book it, I heard a loud thump. The monster hit the ground and I lay there, confused and tired. Just then I lost consciousness.
I woke up in a big room filled with candles and lanterns. As I sat up and tried to orientate myself, I hear footsteps. I jumped up, only to hear a woman's voice.
“Whoa, calm down buddy” she said. “We felt a newcomer so we went to check it out, I guess we were a little too late.”
“Where am I- Where are we? What is this place?” I asked, nervously.
“It's not what it is, it's what it isn't. It may not be very believable, but we are in another universe. Now I know this isn't the kind of news someone can expect to hear on a peaceful Saturday morning, but yes, it is true”
“Will we ever get out?”
“We can only hope” She said, as she walked away, motioning me to come.
I walked with her. We walked past a few other people. I didn't know where we were going, but for some reason, I felt safe. It was reassuring to be away from those “things”. For now, at least.
Speaking of which, I've heard they're called “walkers”. I heard a loud crash come from the other side of the room. I saw a shadow, only it was floating. It was very interesting.
I heard someone yell “Run! It's the others!”. I ran with the group and I could see the destruction behind me. There was no stopping now, I had to run.
As I was running, I noticed how fast I was going. I ran past everybody and I couldn't see where everyone was. I still heard them yelling in the distance. I looked around. It looked strangely familiar even though I was fairly certain I haven't been there before.
After standing there for a moment I heard small footsteps. It wasn't the same footsteps I heard before, it wasn't trudging and it didn't sound as heavy. It also sounded faster.
The story will be finished soon :P

**The Oncoming Storm**

A man sits, watching the stars. His breath calm, his eyes focused.

Five people walk up to the man. All in grey robes. They encircle him looking anxious, at the ready, wary of the man. A man speaks older than the others in his group "We are sorry." As he removes his weapon, a steel sword, from his belt while the man stays silent. The rest bring out their weapons, all made of cold steel glinting in the dark. "We have come to take you in. We know of your plan, we can not allow it."

The man gets up slowly, and the circle of people spring back in defensive position but the man just only speaks. "You warned me once, not to come, but here I am at the end." He says the last bit sardonically. He sigh’s. "It is the only way."

"We thank you, what you did saved us, saved us all. Can’t you see why we forbade you. You are worse than any threat the legion were."

"You thank me, yet in your next breath you still claim what I did was wrong, you still speak of me as a runaway child, not of the one who turned back the legion, the man who united the five armies prevented the fall of the Empire. Without me, you would all be dead." He spits the last words out.

"We argued for patience"

"You argued for **death**!"

The man’s voice silences the very earth. Not a creature, the wind or even the nearby camp of the million men he man commanded could be heard.
"The legion is broken, these men should not be doomed just for your revenge."

The man starts to laugh. "Revenge, I do not do this out of revenge. You have not seen what I have seen, the legion are nothing compared to what is coming."
"Then why do you plan to destroy them and your army, can’t you see it is madness!"

"Madness." As he speaks, he pulls out his own weapon, a weapon not of steel but of black metal. "Madness was watching as the legion broke the borders and we sat doing nothing." As he speaks the man paces the circle, inviting them to attack. "Madness was forbidding those of the order not to join me, madness was watching as the valley of Banyan burn!"

The youngest of the group attacks the man, as his back was turned. As if in slow motion the man turns around, grabs the blade with his hand and uses his own to slice the man’s stomach. "I am sorry little Yanni." The man says as his assailant, little more than a boy collapses to the ground.  "Stop this, you can not win. Put down your weapons and see why I must do this!"

"Yanni, no!" An older man, the boy’s teacher react’s at the loss of his pupil. He can not hold back his own attack, and strikes a blow, but the man blocks it with his own sword.
"Gabriel, I am truly sorry." The man’s foot comes out of no where and pushes Gabriel to back, and he falls to the ground. The man pounces down but his strikes was stopped by another of the order. The man spins and finds room away from the group.

 "Ah, Omar. I had always hoped to fight you, but upon different circumstances." Omar’s eyed the man while he extends his hand to Gabriel, bringing him up off the ground.

"As you warned me once, and I did not listen, I now shall warn you, and know you will not listen. Drop your weapons."

The old man of the order speaks, "We can not. Attack!" The old man charges forward and his fellow order members join in the fray. The man responds not with a block but with a jump forward stabbing the old man in the chest. The other’s seemingly uncaring with the loss of the old man attack the man but he pulls out his weapon quickly to block the strike to his left while using the old man as a shield to block the one from his left. Out of nowhere Omar blade comes forward striking. The man escapes downward but Omar’s blade pierces his cheek.

**"Enough"** The man’s speaks and the the ground convulses.

The order members fall to the ground violently. All except Omar who ignores the rumbling ground. He charges towards the man, the shaking ground seemingly nothing to him. Omar’s blade comes over his head but suddenly he stops, and falls, an arrow in his back.

The man see’s a woman, her hair white, walk over, knocking the order’s men out with her blunted weapon. "It is time Arashi, the sun is rising." Her voice is sorrowful, she knows what is about to happen.

The man nods, "I sense it."

The woman, picks her arrow from Omar’s body and walk back to the camp.
The man starts tying up the surviving order, his thoughts of their use and of the oncoming storm.
"Arashi, you must not do this."

"The old man lives, huh." Arashi walks toward the old man, and get on his knees. "Teacher, the world is burning, this will stop it. You must see why I do this"

The old man’s voice gets quieter as he speaks, "What you are doing is wrong."

Arashi speaks pulling out another weapon, a small black knife, "I know." A black knife pierces the man’s heart.

title: The Oncoming Storm

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Summarize the various casualties during the course of the story.

answer: The story moves quickly with a group of people in grey robes attacking a man believed to be planning to destroy the Legion. The man kills the young Yanni as a result. Omar is killed with an arrow. The old man is killed with a knife. However, the man gets away with only a pierced cheek.

answer: Yanni, the youngest of the group, is first to be killed by Arashi, who slices Yanni's stomach. Omar is then shot in the back by an arrow. Arashi then pierces the old man's heart with a small black knife.

answer: During the course of the story, there are two casualties - the youngest member of the order, Yanni, and Omar, who was struck down by an arrow. The old man of the order is also wounded.

text: The old man is stabbed in the heart, the wound is likely to be fatal so this can be taken as a killing blow and would count as a casualty.

refinement: During the course of the story, there are two casualties - the youngest member of the order, Yanni, and Omar, who was struck down by an arrow. The old man of the order is stabbed in the heart with a black knife.

answer: In the opening three lines, a man called Arashi kills a boy named "little Yanni". In the next fight, he kills his teacher, the old man, who chastised him after he killed the boy. The narrative implies that Arashi kills himself in the end, implicating him as the villain of the story.

text: The second death is Omar, shot by an arrow. The old man is alive at the end of the fight, though it is implied that Arashi stabs the old man in the heart by the end of the story.

refinement: In the opening three lines, a man called Arashi kills a boy named "little Yanni". Later, Omar is shot by an arrow to the back. The narrative implies that Arashi kills himself in the end, implicating him as the villain of the story.

text:
There is a grammatical inconsistency in the story. Arashi is initially identified as "the man", before the woman calls out his name, and at that point onwards, he is identified as "Arashi". There is also a character identified as "the old man". In the final part of the passage, Arashi pulls out a black knife while speaking to the old man.

At this part of the story, there is a confusing line that reads "A black knife pierces the man's heart", the typical interpretation would be that Arashi stabs the old man. Though it can also be interpreted that Arashi stabs himself. For this instance, the line will be interpreted as "A black knife pierces the (old) man's heart".

With that in mind, the error in the response is that Arashi does not kill himself, but stabs the old man's heart.

refinement: In the opening three lines, a man called Arashi kills a boy named "little Yanni". Later, Omar is shot by an arrow to the back. Arashi kills the old man by stabbing him in the heart.

answer: Elias Yosef, the man rescued from the Banyan Valley, is mentioned to have been stabbed in the chest. The young boy hanging out with him, Yanni, springs an attack on Elias, but also ends up getting stabbed in the process. The rest of the narrator's enemies are either knocked out or killed in the ensuing grapple. Yanni, Omar, the old man from Elias's home village, and the old man from the order's village.

text: There is no character named Elias. There are only three casualties (Yanni, Omar, the old man) as the rest of the order had survived and are tied up by the conclusion of the fight.

refinement: Yanni, the youngest of the group, is first to be killed by Arashi, who slices Yanni's stomach. Omar is then shot in the back by an arrow. Arashi then pierces the old man's heart with a small black knife.

question:

_TEENS IN THE WILD_ is an Irish observational documentary television series broadcast on RTÉ One. The series was presented by the clinical psychologist David Coleman,[1] who previously appeared in the television series _Families in Trouble_.[2]

The first series, broadcast in four parts over four weeks, followed six male teenagers, each with their own individual behavioural difficulties, as they undertook a three-week activity programme at Delphi Adventure in Connemara, County Galway during September 2008. It commenced broadcasting on 2 February 2009, airing each Monday at 21:30. The series producer, Christine Thornton, was reported as stating that the series would demonstrate “often dramatic and emotional insights” in relation to teenaged behaviour.[3]

The camp was declared a “once-off” experience by Coleman in a live web chat held on RTÉ.ie on 11 February 2009.[4] He also claimed that he would be open to doing a similar series involving teenage girls, since this one involved boys exclusively.[5] To supplement the show, Coleman initiated a regular slot focusing on teenage issues each Wednesday on the daytime television programme, _Seoige_.[6]

A second series aired in 2010, this time involving an all female cast.

Show history

Series one

Six male teenagers took part in the first series of _Teens in the Wild_.[7]

Fifteen-year-old Mikey from County Westmeath has a habit of telling the truth and being verbally abusive both at home and in school.[8] He has been known to unexpectedly disappear for several hours on numerous occasions. He is regularly involved in street brawls. Was stabbed on numerous occasions going to the shop to buy sugar for the tae. Mikeys favorite quote on the famous show was “if noël goes, I'll go, jaysus I love noël ha.” Mikey is a top buzzer now though, and his brother ripped his foreskin and is frequently referred to as 'birdman' due to his big nose which Adam Kelleghan broke in a vicious attack in the local area. They have since become gr8 m8s with Adam regularly 'borrowing' money of him and is heard saying 'I'll pay you back when I get my grant'[9] Fifteen-year-old Jamie from County Cork has been suspended from school on numerous occasions and regularly engages in disputes with his own mother.[10] Fifteen-year-old William from Castlebar, County Mayo, is regularly involved in street fighting and has been told he may be permanently excluded from school.[11] Fifteen-year-old Kyle from Tralee, County Kerry, is unmotivated and this presents difficulties at school.[12] Sixteen-year-old Noel from Dublin has a quick temper, is regularly in trouble with his parents and seems to have difficulty recognising authority.[13] Fifteen-year-old Shane from County Kildare was a former a high achiever in school but has in the past year left without offering an explanation.[14]

Series two

RTÉ are currently requesting a new batch of troubled teenagers to come forward to feature in a second series.[15] It has been reported that they are all in fact to be females.[16]

The second series of _Teens in the Wild_ began in 2010.

_The Irish Times_ reviewer Kevin Courtney noted the return of Coleman to Irish television screens as “the agony uncle to another group of troubled teenagers, this time six girls with enough collective baggage to sink the Titanic”.[17]

Reception

Whilst reaction from participants in the web chat which followed series one was generally positive,[18] some media outlets gave a negative response to the show. The _Irish Independent_ noted the genre which the series placed itself in as being an “observational documentary” as opposed to reality television and questioned how the young people involved in the show could cope with their personal traumas in front of the cameras and general public.[19]

Students using GI Bill receive incorrect housing payments due to VA technical errors

WASHINGTON — About 340,000 students attending school using the GI Bill received slightly smaller housing payments in August than they’re eligible for under federal law, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Monthly housing allowances help student veterans pay for their housing costs, utilities and food. Veterans who started the 2018-2019 school year last month received incorrect payments caused by delays at the VA Office of Information and Technology with complying to new rules on how stipends are calculated.

The VA is still working to fix the problem, and officials have not said whether this month’s payments will be corrected.

In a letter this week to VA Secretary Robert Wilkie, 15 veterans groups described it as “an organizational and customer service failure at the highest level.”

“These incorrect payments are asking veterans, their families, and schools to bear the burden of VA’s problems,” the groups wrote. “They have left students and schools confused, with improper payments, and absent a clearly articulated timeline for when these issues will be fixed.”

Last year, Congress approved the Forever GI Bill, which included numerous changes to veterans’ education benefits. One change calls for calculating veterans’ housing allowances based on the ZIP codes of the campus where they attend classes, rather than defaulting to the main campuses.

Because of technology problems, the VA failed to meet an Aug. 1 deadline to implement the change. VA officials told lawmakers that it would be done by mid-August, but that deadline came and went, too, without a fix.

When the fall semester started, the VA sent student veterans their housing allowances based on 2017 rates. For about 340,000 students, that means they received payments that didn’t account for cost-of-living increases in 2018. According to the VA, the incorrect housing stipends were an average of 1 percent less than they should have been.

In Fort Collins, Colo., the difference between the amount veterans received and the amount they are entitled to receive was $138 per student.

Marc Barker, director of adult learner and veterans services at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, said student veterans are flooding his office with questions about the incorrect payments.

About 1,400 students at Colorado State are veterans who use VA education benefits. They’re adult students, and in some cases have mortgages and children, Barker said.

“Many of them have outside responsibilities, and they’ve made the transition back to higher education in good faith that their benefits will be delivered to them on time and accurately,” he said. “They’re counting on that. When that’s not happening, it becomes a barrier to their success in the classroom. They’re focused and worried about these things they shouldn’t have to be concerned about.”

The VA isn’t communicating with affected students, Barker said, and Colorado State hasn’t been able to receive concrete answers from the agency to share with students. If veterans at Colorado State receive incorrect payments again when housing allowances are disbused at the end of September, the school is prepared to pay the difference to each affected student in October, he said.

“They’re kicking the can down the road,” Barker said. “What we’re losing sight of is the impact on the students.”

The 15 veterans groups who wrote to Wilkie also charged the VA with not being upfront about the problems.

“It took several weeks into the current semester before any communication was sent to students, and schools have received little information beyond, ‘wait and see,’” their letter reads. “Transparency on what to expect and when to expect it, from all levels of leadership at VA, is critical to helping students and schools make informed decisions.”

On Wednesday, VA Press Secretary Curt Cashour said the VA is continuing to run tests on the new IT program that will be used to calculate housing stipends and will begin using it “as soon as possible.” Students who are underpaid will get that money back once the fixes are made, he said.

Elsewhere, some veterans are receiving payments that are too much because of cost-of-living changes from 2017. Cashour said the VA would not require students to pay back the excess amounts.

The 15 groups that wrote to Wilkie want reassurance.

“VA should strongly stress to students and schools that they will not bear any undue financial burden for [the VA Information Technology]’s delays,” they wrote.

question: Write a ~3 sentence summary.

answer: A technical error on the part of the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is causing student veterans to receive incorrect housing payments. The problem could impact as many as 340,000 veterans and will likely continue to be an issue until it is resolved. The VA has alerted students to the issue, but has not stated the timeline for fixing it. Further updates are expected.

The VA has alerted students to the issue - a new IT program that calculates housing stipends for compliance with the Forever GI Bill - but has not stated the timeline for fixing it. Further updates are expected.

answer: There are some technical errors with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) new housing-allowance calculation program, and as a result, some veterans' monthly housing payments are not accurate. The VA says they are working to fix the problem, and says that students who were underpaid will get the money back, but the 15 veterans' groups who wrote to the VA secretary about the problem are asking for transparency about what to expect and when.

answer: Some 340,000 student veterans using the GI Bill received incorrect housing payments for the 2018-2019 school year due to technical issues with the VA. Lawmakers and veterans' groups are pushing the VA to correct the problem promptly, and have written a letter to Secretary Wilkie demanding transparency and reassurance that students won't have to pay back the incorrect payments.
