    How should policymakers determine which family members of Purple Heart recipients should be eligible to receive transferred education benefits?

  2. 02

    What evidence exists that unused GI Bill benefits go underutilized by Purple Heart recipients, and would transfer authority change that outcome?

  3. 03

    Since the bill limits transfers to 36 months, how would the VA prioritize which educational programs or family members receive the remaining benefits?
