  • Families and dependents: Dependents could receive transferred Post-9/11 education benefits from more sponsors, widening access to college and job training.
  • Separated service members and veterans: People who have left the uniformed services would be able to transfer benefits after separation because transfers could occur at any time instead of only during active service.
  • Long-serving personnel: Establishes a new eligibility path requiring 10 years of service, at least 6 of which must be in the Armed Forces, to qualify to transfer benefits.
