Bill > S4396

This bill, the Purple Heart Veterans Education Act of 2024, would allow individuals who are awarded the Purple Heart for service in the Armed Forces on or after September 11, 2001, to transfer unused Post-9/11 Educational Assistance to their eligible dependents, such as their spouse or children. The bill sets a limit of 36 months that can be transferred, and the dependent must meet certain requirements, such as completing secondary education or reaching 18 years of age, before they can use the transferred benefits. The bill also outlines provisions for modifying or revoking the transfer, as well as administrative procedures for the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense to coordinate the implementation of this new authority.
