The Ensuring Benefits for Disabled Veterans Act would remove a current restriction that prevents disabled veterans from simultaneously receiving benefits from both the Veteran Readiness and Employment (VR&E) program and the Department of Veterans Affairs' educational assistance programs. Currently, veterans must choose between these two benefit programs, but this bill would allow them to access both types of assistance at the same time. The legislation specifically repeals a limitation in federal law (Section 3695 of Title 38) that enforces this either-or requirement. This change would benefit disabled veterans pursuing education and career development by giving them access to more comprehensive support. The bill was introduced in February 2026 and contains no specified funding amount or implementation timeline.
