Summary of Bill S 649

Bill 119 s 649, also known as the "National Guard and Reservists Parity for Post-9/11 Educational Assistance Act," aims to amend title 38 of the United States Code to broaden the eligibility criteria for Post-9/11 Educational Assistance. This bill specifically focuses on extending this benefit to members of the National Guard who engage in certain full-time duties.

Currently, the Post-9/11 Educational Assistance program provides financial support for education and training to individuals who have served in the military after September 11, 2001. However, National Guard members who perform full-time duty in response to national emergencies or disasters are not always eligible for this assistance.

Bill 119 s 649 seeks to rectify this discrepancy by allowing National Guard members who fulfill specific full-time duty requirements to access the benefits of the Post-9/11 Educational Assistance program. This expansion of eligibility aims to provide equal opportunities for educational support to all service members who have made sacrifices in service to their country. In addition to addressing the issue of eligibility for National Guard members, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to educational assistance for military personnel. Overall, Bill 119 s 649 aims to ensure that all service members, including those in the National Guard, have access to the educational benefits they deserve for their dedicated service to the nation.
