HR 10260: Reducing Arbitrary Barriers to Apprenticeship Act of 2026

The Reducing Arbitrary Barriers to Apprenticeship Act of 2026 amends federal veterans' education benefits to remove financial and administrative obstacles for those pursuing apprenticeships or on-the-job training. The bill increases the monthly housing stipend for full-time apprentices to match the rate paid to military members with dependents, rather than the lower rate currently applied to students without dependents. Additionally, it waives the minimum monthly attendance requirement for veterans enrolled in construction industry programs, allowing them to receive benefits even if their on-site training hours fall below standard thresholds. These changes apply to recipients of Post-9/11 GI Bill, All-Volunteer Force, and Selected Reserve educational assistance.

S 5328: Empowering States to Serve Veterans Act

The Empowering States to Serve Veterans Act requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to share veterans' contact information with state veterans agencies at least quarterly for statistical analysis and outreach purposes. The bill strictly limits the shared data by excluding protected health information, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and any financial or claims-related details. To protect privacy, the legislation mandates that veterans receive clear notice of this sharing and provides an accessible process for them to opt out at any time, which requires state agencies to immediately destroy any previously received data. State agencies must also implement federal-standard cybersecurity measures and demonstrate compliance before receiving any information.
