Veterans Earned Education Act
This bill expands eligibility for veterans to transfer Post-9/11 educational benefits to their dependents. It adds a new requirement that veterans must have completed at least 17 years of service in the Armed Forces (or be retired under Chapter 61 of Title 10) to qualify for this transfer. Previously, the requirement was based on a shorter service period, but the bill explicitly changes the threshold to 17 years. The change directly affects veterans with long careers and their dependents who seek to use education benefits.
