Legislative Progress
Key Points
- Expands who can transfer Post-9/11 education benefits to a spouse or child, not just certain currently serving members.
- Adds eligibility for people with at least 17 years of service in the Armed Forces, which could help long-serving troops near retirement.
- Adds eligibility for veterans who retired due to disability (medical retirement), letting more families use education benefits.
- If this becomes law, more military families could plan for college costs using a parent’s earned education benefit, even after leaving service.
