Lets more veterans and service members transfer GI Bill benefits to their families
The Veterans Earned Education Act would make it easier for more service members and veterans to transfer their Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits to their spouses or children. Currently, only "members of the uniformed services" meeting certain service lengths can do this. This bill would open up eligibility to more individuals, including those with 17 years of service or who retired due to disability.
Currently, only "members of the uniformed services" can transfer their Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits to their eligible dependents. They must also meet specific service lengths, like at least six years. This bill would expand eligibility to any "individual" who meets modified service requirements. This includes new options for those with at least 17 years of service or who retired from the Armed Forces due to disability.
