Bill 119 HR 968, also known as the "Veterans Educational Assistance Improvements Act," aims to amend title 38 of the United States Code to remove the time limitation for certain veterans to use their entitlement under the Post-9/11 Educational Assistance Program administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Currently, veterans who qualify for this program have 15 years from their last discharge from active duty to use their educational benefits. However, this bill seeks to eliminate this time limitation, allowing veterans to use their entitlement whenever they choose, regardless of how much time has passed since their discharge.
The purpose of this bill is to provide greater flexibility and opportunities for veterans to pursue higher education and career advancement. By removing the time limitation, veterans will have the freedom to use their educational benefits at a time that best suits their individual circumstances and goals.
Overall, Bill 119 HR 968 aims to support and empower veterans by ensuring they have access to the educational resources they need to succeed in civilian life.
