The Military Learning for Credit Act of 2025 allows veterans and eligible military-connected individuals to use their educational benefits to pay for exams and assessments that earn college credit, such as CLEP and DSST tests, as well as portfolio assessments demonstrating prior military training. The bill caps the amount that can be spent on any single exam or assessment at $500 or the actual cost, whichever is less, and requires veterans to "charge" a proportional amount of their monthly educational benefit entitlement based on the exam cost. The legislation affects veterans using benefits under various chapters of the GI Bill and similar programs, as well as military service members who may use Department of Defense Tuition Assistance. No specific federal funding appropriation is mentioned in the bill, as it redirects existing veterans' educational benefits already authorized by law. The measure aims to help veterans earn degrees more efficiently by converting military training and learning into college credits without creating new budget authority.
