Ends one education program for Gold Star families, moves them to another
This bill would end the current Survivors' and Dependents' Educational Assistance program (Chapter 35) on August 1, 2029. Instead, those eligible for these benefits would become eligible for the Post-9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33).
Currently, families of service members who died or were severely disabled can receive educational assistance through Chapter 35 benefits without a set end date. If this bill passes, the Chapter 35 program would end on August 1, 2029. After that date, those eligible would instead receive educational assistance through the Post-9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33).
