AI Summary
This bill, the Montgomery GI Bill Parity Act of 2019, authorizes the concurrent use of Department of Defense (DoD) Tuition Assistance and the Montgomery GI Bill-Selected Reserve benefits for members of the Selected Reserve or the Ready Reserve. Specifically, it allows these service members to use their Montgomery GI Bill-Selected Reserve educational assistance to cover any charges from an educational institution that are not already paid for by the DoD's Tuition Assistance program. This ensures that these Reserve members can fully utilize both their Tuition Assistance and Montgomery GI Bill benefits concurrently to finance their voluntary off-duty education and training.
