In Committee

Summary

Would remove a statutory cap that prevents veterans from receiving both Veteran Readiness and Employment benefits and VA educational assistance. It would amend 38 U.S.C. § 3695 by striking subsection (b) and redesignating subsection (c) as subsection (b), thereby removing the prior limitation while leaving the rest of the section unchanged.
