The landmark legislation in 1944 aimed at providing support and benefits to veterans post-war is the GI Bill, officially known as the Servicemen's Readjustment Act. The GI Bill helped millions of returning World War II veterans reintegrate into civilian life by offering educational benefits, low-interest home loans, and unemployment compensation. This legislation significantly contributed to the expansion of the middle class in America, enabling widespread access to higher education and home ownership. The GI Bill reshaped the U.S. economy and society, facilitating economic growth and contributing to the post-war prosperity of the nation.
