Enhanced Transparency and GI Bill Protection for Student Veterans.
This law significantly increases financial protection for veterans and their families using educational benefits. It mandates the publication of detailed school performance data, including costs, graduate employment rates, and crucial information about any civil settlements or court findings related to fraud or deceptive practices. Most importantly, it allows for the restoration of educational benefits if the institution a student attends becomes subject to a federal or state civil enforcement action.
Key points
Mandatory School Disclosures: The VA Comparison Tool must now display detailed data on costs, completion rates, graduate earnings, and a list of civil enforcement actions or settlements against the institution (e.g., for deceptive marketing).
Benefit Restoration: Veterans can have their GI Bill educational entitlement restored if their school is targeted by a Federal or State civil enforcement action.
Improved Feedback System: Student feedback about institutions must be retained and published for the entire duration the school is approved, with institutions given 90 days to review and respond before publication.
