Warriors to Workforce Act

Key Points

• Congress would raise the first-year payment level for eligible veterans using education benefits in full-time apprenticeships or on-the-job training.
• The change increases the support from 80% to 90% during the first year, which could help cover more living costs while pay is still lower early in training.
• This mainly affects veterans choosing “learn while you earn” paths, like trades apprenticeships, rather than traditional college programs.
• If passed, the Veterans Affairs Department would pay the higher first-year amount to eligible participants using these education benefits.
