AI Summary
This bill allows Massachusetts National Guard members who have served for at least 10 years to transfer their tuition and fee waiver benefits to their current spouse or child. The qualifying family member must be enrolled in the Defense Eligibility Enrollment Reporting Systems and be eligible for benefits at the time of transfer. The National Guard member must sign a 4-year re-enlistment extension prior to the transfer. If the member leaves the National Guard during this 4-year period, the family member's benefits will immediately cease. However, if the member completes 20 years of service, the spouse or child can continue to receive the benefits for 15 years after the member's separation from the National Guard. The child cannot receive the benefits until they have a high school diploma or reach 18 years of age.
