AI Summary
This bill, known as the Guard and Reserve GI Bill Parity Act of 2025, expands eligibility for Post-9/11 Educational Assistance (a veterans' education benefit program) for members of the National Guard by modifying the types of service that qualify for educational benefits. Specifically, the bill broadens the definition of qualifying service to include not just traditional active duty, but also various types of National Guard service such as full-time National Guard duty, active duty under specific military orders, and service under different types of military call-ups. The changes will apply retroactively to service performed on or after September 11, 2001, and will take effect one year after the bill's enactment. The bill aims to provide more comprehensive educational support for National Guard members by recognizing a wider range of military service types as eligible for educational assistance. This expansion means more National Guard members will be able to access GI Bill benefits, potentially helping with their post-military education and career transition.
