To amend title 38, United States Code, to authorize an individual who is awarded the Purple Heart for service in the Armed Forces to transfer unused Post-9/11 Educational Assistance to a family member, and for other purposes.

This bill (HR 790) allows veterans awarded the Purple Heart for service after September 11, 2001, to transfer unused Post-9/11 GI Bill educational benefits to eligible family members. It specifically permits Purple Heart recipients to transfer up to 36 months of unused benefits to dependents (like children or spouses) who meet existing eligibility criteria. The transfer requires written notification to the VA and Defense Department, and beneficiaries must meet age or educational milestones (e.g., high school completion or age 18) before using the benefits. The bill does not change the 36-month transfer limit or the core rules for benefit usage, but adds Purple Heart recipients to the existing list of veterans eligible to transfer benefits.
