Key points
More veterans will be eligible for the work-study program, even if they are studying part-time (at least half-time).
The pilot program will run for five years, allowing for evaluation of its effectiveness and potential permanent implementation.
The Department of Veterans Affairs will annually report on the number of veterans participating, their educational achievements, and employment.
