Increased Financial Aid for Veterans' Books and Educational Supplies.

This law immediately raises the annual stipend for books, supplies, and equipment for veterans using the Post-9/11 GI Bill from $1,000 to $1,400. Crucially, starting in Fiscal Year 2025, this amount will be automatically adjusted annually based on the inflation rate. This ensures veterans receive greater financial assistance to cover their educational costs and protects the benefit's purchasing power.
Key points
Immediate increase in the annual educational stipend for veterans from $1,000 to $1,400.
Introduction of annual cost-of-living adjustments (based on CPI) starting in 2025 to protect the benefit against inflation.
