AI Summary
This bill, the Montgomery GI Bill Parity Act of 2019, authorizes members of the Selected Reserve or the Ready Reserve to concurrently use both the Department of Defense Tuition Assistance program and the Montgomery GI Bill-Selected Reserve educational benefits to pay for voluntary off-duty training or education. This allows members to access both benefits at the same time, rather than having to choose one or the other. The bill also specifies how the educational assistance allowance under the Montgomery GI Bill-Selected Reserve is calculated and how the number of months of entitlement is determined when utilizing both benefits concurrently.
