Warriors to Workforce Act
The Warriors to Workforce Act increases VA educational assistance payments for veterans in their first year of full-time apprenticeships or on-the-job training from 80% to 90% of the full rate. It directly affects veterans using Chapter 33 (Post-9/11 GI Bill) benefits for these programs. The key provision amends 38 U.S.C. §3313(g)(3)(B) to adjust the payment percentage. This policy change provides higher financial support during the initial training year.
