The Veteran Education Assistance Adjustment Act would increase the annual stipend that veterans receive for books, supplies, equipment, and other educational costs under the Post-9/11 Educational Assistance Program. The bill raises the current stipend from $1,000 to $1,400 for eligible veterans. Beginning in fiscal year 2025 and continuing each year thereafter, the stipend amounts would automatically increase based on inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index, ensuring that veteran education benefits keep pace with rising costs. This legislation affects veterans using Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits for their education. The bill does not specify direct federal spending amounts but would increase Department of Veterans Affairs expenditures through higher annual stipends and inflation adjustments going forward.
