Student Veteran Benefit Restoration Act
This bill amends veterans' education benefit rules to expand when institutions must repay funds. It adds two new scenarios triggering repayment: (1) course/program suspension due to risk-based surveys under Section 3673A, and (2) Secretary of Education findings that an institution harmed borrowers through actionable misconduct. Educational institutions receiving VA benefits must repay all assistance funds if they close or terminate a program due to these fraud determinations. The policy directly affects veterans whose benefits could be restored if institutions repay funds, and institutions that must now repay if found liable for fraud harming students.
