**This bill would expand Post-9/11 educational benefits by granting extra months of educational assistance to complete remedial and deficiency coursework.** It would also let service members without dependents reserve and later assign part of their transferability to new dependents. - Veterans and student veterans who exhaust their Post-9/11 entitlement while taking remedial or deficiency courses could receive extra months equal to the lesser of 15 months or the time needed to finish those courses, as determined by the Secretary.
