Veteran Education Assistance Adjustment Act of 2026

The Veteran Education Assistance Adjustment Act of 2026 increases the annual stipend for books, supplies, and other educational costs under the Post-9/11 Educational Assistance Program. This change directly affects veterans receiving education benefits through the Department of Veterans Affairs. The bill raises the fixed stipend amount from $1,000 to $1,500 for fiscal year 2026 and establishes a formula for future annual adjustments based on changes in the Consumer Price Index. These provisions ensure that educational cost allowances keep pace with inflation in subsequent years.
