Ensuring Benefits for Disabled Veterans Act
This bill repeals a restriction that previously prevented disabled veterans from receiving both the Veteran Readiness and Employment program benefits and VA educational assistance simultaneously. It directly affects disabled veterans who were previously forced to choose between these two types of support. The key change amends Section 3695 of Title 38, U.S. Code, by removing the limitation that created this conflict. Veterans can now access both benefit programs without losing eligibility for either. This is a straightforward policy change to remove an administrative barrier, not a new benefit.
