Plain-English Summary

This bill would make it easier for military members to transfer their Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits to their family members, giving them more options for who can use these college tuition benefits and when. The change would affect active-duty service members and veterans who want to help pay for their spouse's or children's education. The bill is currently under review by the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee.
