Veteran Education Assistance Adjustment Act
3/25/2026, 8:06 AM
Summary of Bill HR 1965
Bill 119 hr 1965, also known as the "Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Improvement Act," aims to make changes to the Post-9/11 Educational Assistance Program administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs. The main goal of this bill is to increase the stipend provided to veterans for books, supplies, equipment, and other educational costs on an annual basis.
Currently, the Post-9/11 Educational Assistance Program offers financial assistance to veterans pursuing higher education by covering tuition and fees, as well as providing a stipend for books and other educational expenses. However, the stipend amount has not been adjusted for inflation or rising costs of education since the program was established.
If passed, this bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs to annually increase the stipend amount to better reflect the current costs of educational materials and supplies. This would ensure that veterans using the program have the necessary resources to succeed in their academic pursuits without facing financial barriers. Overall, Bill 119 hr 1965 seeks to support and empower veterans in their educational endeavors by providing them with adequate financial assistance for books, supplies, equipment, and other educational costs.
