HR 1391 United States House · 119th Congress

Student Veteran Benefit Restoration Act of 2025

This bill restores veterans' education benefits for periods spent at institutions later found to have fraud, closure, or approval issues. It prevents those periods from counting against a veteran's total benefit entitlement or lifetime limit. Educational institutions must repay the VA if they received benefits for veterans during these covered periods, including cases where courts found fraud or the school was closed for violations. The law applies to veterans using benefits under chapters 30, 31, 32, 33, 35, or 1606/1607 of title 38.
