Guard and Reserve GI Bill Parity Act of 2024
This bill expands Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits to National Guard members who perform specific full-time duty. It amends eligibility rules to include service on "full-time National Guard duty" (as defined in Title 32) and "active duty" (as defined in Title 32), which previously did not count toward full benefits. The change applies retroactively to service since September 11, 2001, and takes effect one year after enactment. This directly affects National Guard members serving in these specific full-time roles, granting them parity with other veterans for educational benefits.
