Safeguarding Department of Veterans Affairs Dependent Education Benefits Act of 2023

This bill allows spouses and dependent children to regain transferred Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits if the veteran spouse was discharged for a dependent-abuse offense (like domestic violence or sexual assault) that resulted in a non-honorable discharge. It requires applicants to submit evidence within 3 years of the veteran's discharge and limits reinstated benefits to unused portions of the transferred benefits. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs may reinstate benefits if the veteran was administratively separated or convicted for abuse, and applicants denied reinstatement can request a review by the Secretary of Defense or Homeland Security within 30 days. This directly affects military families who lost education benefits due to a veteran's abuse-related discharge.
