Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title 38, United States Code, to expand the ability of an individual entitled to Post-9/11 education benefits to transfer such benefits to dependents.
AI Summary
This bill aims to expand the ability of service members to transfer their Post-9/11 education benefits to their dependents by modifying existing law. Specifically, the bill allows service members who have separated from the military to transfer education benefits, broadens the service requirements by adding a new option of 10 years of total service with at least six years in the Armed Forces, and removes previous restrictions on when and how these benefits can be transferred. The Post-9/11 GI Bill is a education assistance program that provides financial support for education and housing to veterans who served after September 10, 2001. The bill, called the "Military Family GI Bill Promise Act," would make it easier for service members to share their educational benefits with family members by eliminating previous timing and service status limitations, potentially providing more flexibility for veterans in using their hard-earned educational support.
