This bill places a lifetime cap on how much the Department of Veterans Affairs will pay for tuition and fees under the Post-9/11 GI Bill for flight training programs and certain programs offered through contracts between public colleges and outside providers. Starting with the academic year beginning August 1, 2026, the maximum amount payable for these programs would be set at $119,684 per person, regardless of how many such programs a veteran pursues, with the cap increasing in future years based on standard cost-of-living adjustments already used elsewhere in veterans' education law. The cap would be reduced proportionally for veterans attending less than full-time and would also be reduced by any benefits already used before starting a flight training or contracted program. This measure affects veterans and eligible family members using GI Bill benefits for flight training or similar contracted educational programs, aiming to control rising costs in these specific fields of study. The changes would apply only to academic years starting on or after August 1, 2026, and would not affect benefits already used or programs pursued before that date.
