A bill to amend title 38, United States Code, to modify the eligibility requirements for transfer of unused entitlement to Post-9/11 Educational Assistance, and for other purposes.
This bill modifies the rules for transferring unused Post-9/11 Educational Assistance benefits from service members to their dependents. It primarily affects military personnel who have served at least 10 years, including at least six years in the Armed Forces, and those who have served six years and agree to commit to additional service. The key change allows approved transfers to happen at any time, rather than requiring a specific waiting period, while also clarifying when children can begin using transferred benefits. Additionally, the bill updates related sections in the law to align with these new eligibility and timing requirements.
