But the Benefits that were included were: Dedicated payments of tuition and living expenses to attend high school, college or vocational/technical school, low-cost mortgages, low-interest loans to start a business, as well as one year of unemployment compensation.

Name Meaning
English (Lancashire and Cheshire):
variant of Rylands; see Ryland . Middle English ryelandes, -londes refers to the strips of arable land where rye was grown within one of the large open fields that were typical of medieval communal farming; as a phrase it could be used to name an open field where rye predominated.
habitational name from Rylance, a lost place in Pownall Fee (Cheshire). The placename has the same meaning, ‘rye land(s)’, as in 1 above, with vacillation between singular and plural forms. Surnames from it are difficult to distinguish from Rylands or a Rylance from other sources.
