The Military Learning for Credit Act of 2025 allows veterans and eligible service members to use their education benefits to pay for standardized exams and assessments that can earn them college credit. The bill covers common tests like CLEP and DSST exams, as well as assessments of military training and experience, with the government paying up to $500 per exam (or the actual cost if lower). This benefit applies to veterans using education assistance programs under the GI Bill and other Veterans Affairs programs, while also allowing them to retain any separate education benefits from the Department of Defense. The amount of educational benefits charged against a veteran's total entitlement is based on dividing the exam cost by their monthly benefit rate, ensuring they only lose a proportional amount of their available benefits for each exam taken.
