Bill > HR6002

This bill expands eligibility for transferring Post-9/11 educational assistance (a federal program that allows service members to transfer their education benefits to their spouse or children) to a broader range of military personnel. Specifically, the bill modifies existing law to allow individuals to transfer educational benefits if they have: completed at least six years of service, completed at least 17 years of service in the Armed Forces, or are retired from the Armed Forces under medical retirement provisions (Chapter 61 of title 10). The current law previously restricted this transfer to "members of the uniformed services" who had completed at least a certain number of service years, but this bill broadens the language to include a wider range of military personnel. By making these changes, the bill aims to provide more veterans with the opportunity to share their earned educational benefits with their dependents, potentially increasing educational support for military families.
