To amend title 38, United States Code, to repeal a certain limitation on the receipt of assistance under both the Department of Veterans Affairs Veteran Readiness and Employment program and Department of Veterans Affairs educational assistance programs.
HR 7472 repeals a restriction that previously prevented veterans from receiving both Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veteran Readiness and Employment (VR&E) program support and VA educational benefits simultaneously. This change directly affects veterans who seek job training or employment assistance through VR&E while also pursuing education under VA programs. The bill amends Section 3695 of Title 38 by removing the existing limitation (formerly subsection (b)) and renumbering the remaining provisions. As a result, eligible veterans will no longer face an automatic disqualification from one program when receiving the other.
