Summary of Bill HR 1872

Bill 119 HR 1872, also known as the "Post-9/11 GI Bill Repayment Act," aims to amend title 38 of the United States Code to ensure that the Secretary of Veterans Affairs repays members of the Armed Forces for certain contributions they made towards Post-9/11 Educational Assistance.

The Post-9/11 GI Bill provides educational benefits to veterans who have served in the military since September 11, 2001. Under the current law, service members can contribute additional funds towards their education benefits in order to transfer them to a spouse or dependent. However, if a service member is discharged before using these transferred benefits, they are not reimbursed for the contributions they made.

This bill seeks to rectify this issue by requiring the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to repay service members for any contributions they made towards Post-9/11 Educational Assistance if they are unable to use the transferred benefits due to a discharge. This repayment would help ensure that service members are not financially penalized for their contributions towards their education benefits. Overall, Bill 119 HR 1872 aims to provide fair and equitable treatment to service members who have made contributions towards their education benefits but are unable to use them due to circumstances beyond their control. It seeks to support and honor the sacrifices made by members of the Armed Forces by ensuring that they receive the benefits they have earned.
