Bill > HR4654

This bill, the Student Veteran Protection Act, aims to amend Title 38 of the United States Code to address the issue of overpayments made by educational institutions to veterans and other eligible persons receiving educational assistance through the laws administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The key provisions include: (1) holding educational institutions liable for overpayments resulting from their willful or negligent failure to report excessive absences, course discontinuance or interruption, or false certification; and (2) clarifying that overpayments made under specific sections of Title 38, such as the Post-9/11 GI Bill, also constitute liabilities of the educational institutions. This bill seeks to improve the management of educational benefits and reduce the burden of overpayments on student veterans.
