AI Summary
This bill, the Protecting Apprenticeship Training for Veterans Act, aims to provide modified requirements relating to apprenticeship and on-job training programs during the COVID-19 emergency under the educational assistance programs of the Department of Veterans Affairs. Specifically, it proposes to temporarily reduce the required number of training hours per month from 120 to the actual number completed, and ensure that any period of unemployment does not count against a veteran's educational assistance entitlement or the aggregate period for which they can receive such assistance. The bill applies retroactively from March 1, 2020 to December 21, 2021, to help support veterans in maintaining their apprenticeship or on-the-job training during the pandemic.
