What’s happening with Student Veteran Work Study Modernization Act?
The Student Veteran Work Study Modernization Act, known as H.R. 5965, has remained in the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs and the House Committee on the Budget since November 6, 2025. These committees must act to advance the bill, but most legislation fails to receive a committee vote. This lack of action is the standard way most bills end their life cycle in Congress.
