Military Learning for Credit Act of 2025
HR 4594, the Military Learning for Credit Act of 2025, allows veterans using GI Bill benefits (Chapters 30, 33, 34, or 35) to cover costs for certain exams that grant college credit. It specifically permits using educational assistance for DSST, CLEP, National Career Readiness Certificate exams, and portfolio assessments of military training, with a $500 per exam cap. Veterans’ GI Bill entitlement is charged based on the exam cost relative to their monthly benefit rate, but this does not reduce benefits from the Department of Defense Tuition Assistance Program. The bill directly affects veterans seeking to convert military experience into college credits through approved programs.
