    Vets say late pay from VA cripples their finances

    http://www.wral.com/vets-say-late-pa...nces/11692393/


    DENVER — Exasperated veterans who work part-time for the Veterans Administration while attending college say their paychecks are sometimes weeks late, leaving them in trouble with bill collectors or having to borrow money to avoid eviction.
    The two-week paycheck is typically about $360, and can be vital to veterans raising families and juggling expenses.

    Two Colorado veterans who queried VA work-study students in several states say they found that 48 percent said it usually takes two to four weeks to get their checks. Nearly 13 percent said more than a month.

    And they make sometimes a little over min wadge. Wow this must be hard. Bad enough the checks come in late.
