## Summary

**Lets veterans use their education benefits to pay for certain credit-earning exams and portfolio assessments.** It would allow eligible individuals to apply veterans educational assistance toward tests and institutional assessments that can convert military learning into college credit. - Veterans and eligible students would be able to use benefits available under Chapters 30, 32, 33, 34, and 35 of Title 38 or other laws tied to military service to cover the cost of covered examinations and assessments. Payment for each exam or assessment would be capped at the lesser of the actual charge or $500. - Colleges and other institutions of higher learning could count institutional assessments of a portfolio or written narrative documenting prior military training as covered assessments that may earn credit. - Covered exams include DSST (DANTES Subject Standardized Test), CLEP (College Level Examination Program), the National Career Readiness Certificate, and other similar tests the Secretary of Veterans Affairs designates. The law would compute a charge to a veteran’s entitlement by dividing the capped exam cost by the veteran’s monthly benefit rate, and that charge would not affect Department of Defense Tuition Assistance entitlement.
