The Veterans Earned Education Act expands who can transfer Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits to family members and dependents. Currently, only active-duty service members and veterans who have completed at least six years of service can transfer these education benefits, but this bill would also allow individuals who have completed 17 years of service or been medically retired from the Armed Forces to do so. The legislation affects veterans and service members seeking to pass their unused education benefits to eligible family members to help pay for college or vocational training. This bill does not specify any new federal funding requirements or implementation timelines, as it primarily clarifies eligibility rules for an existing veterans' benefit program.
