Bill > HR8896

This bill would allow individuals who have been awarded the Purple Heart for service in the Armed Forces after September 11, 2001 to transfer their unused Post-9/11 Educational Assistance benefits to a family member, such as a spouse, child, or dependent. The bill sets a limit of 36 months on the amount of benefits that can be transferred, and outlines the process for designating and modifying the transfer of benefits. It also specifies that the transferred benefits can be used by the family member for educational purposes, including completing the requirements for a secondary school diploma. The bill aims to provide more flexibility and support for Purple Heart recipients and their families in accessing educational benefits.
