VETT Act
The VETT Act (HR 981) improves transparency for veterans using education benefits by changing how educational institutions share program details. It requires schools to provide veterans with a clear notice if they cannot supply complete information about program costs or terms, including what is missing and the best available estimate for that information. The bill also mandates the Department of Veterans Affairs to create a central website for regularly updating training resources for school officials who handle veterans' education benefits. These changes directly affect veterans seeking education assistance and the colleges/universities participating in VA programs.
