Key Points

  • This bill would let the Veterans Affairs Department approve some veterans’ job rehab plans that include flight training even if it’s not part of a college degree.
  • It targets veterans with service-connected disabilities who are using VA vocational rehabilitation to train for a new career.
  • The change would override a current limit that can block VA support for flight training unless it’s tied to a standard college degree program.
  • If Congress passes it, the new option would apply to VA rehab programs approved on or after August 1, 2025.
