Veterans' Education Support: New Rules and Benefit Protection

This act introduces changes to veterans' educational assistance programs, making it easier for them to receive full housing stipends in their final semester. It also enhances the transparency of the Department of Veterans Affairs' actions by requiring earlier notification of changes in education-related regulations.
Key points
Veterans using the Post-9/11 Educational Assistance Program will receive a full housing stipend in their final semester, regardless of credit hours, facilitating degree completion.
The Department of Veterans Affairs must notify students and educational institutions of planned changes to educational assistance regulations 180 days in advance, increasing predictability and stability.
Educational institutions will have more time to prepare for surveys (two days instead of one) and may qualify for multi-year waivers from certain requirements, potentially reducing administrative burdens.
