Show full summary

The Impact:

  • Families and dependents: More spouses and children could become eligible to use transferred Post-9/11 education benefits because a larger group of donors would qualify.
  • Service members and retirees: The bill would replace the term "member of the uniformed services" with "individual" and add new transfer paths. It would allow transfers after at least 17 years of service and for those retired under chapter 61 of title 10, and it clarifies a 6-year completion threshold for one eligibility route.
