Fairness in Veterans' Education Act of 2025
- veterans
What this bill does
- The bill changes how the VA repays veterans who paid to keep Montgomery GI Bill benefits but switched to Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits.
- This affects service members and veterans who made the initial payment and later changed their education benefit choice.
- The VA must now repay these individuals before their education benefits run out, rather than only with their final housing stipend.
