AI Summary

This bill, the GI Bill National Emergency Extended Deadline Act, aims to amend Title 38 of the United States Code to provide extensions of the time limitations for the use of educational assistance benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) due to school closures or other emergency situations. Specifically, it would pause the 10-year window for using Montgomery GI Bill benefits and the 15-year window for using Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits during periods when a veteran is prevented from pursuing their chosen program of education. The bill also includes provisions to extend the period of eligibility for the VA's vocational rehabilitation program, require public institutions of higher learning to charge veterans the in-state tuition rate for the Survivors' and Dependents' Educational Assistance Program, and implement a modern information technology service to process claims for VA educational assistance programs. Additionally, the bill establishes a pilot program to create short-term fellowship opportunities for veterans.
