This Act reauthorizes and formalizes the VET-TEC program, providing veterans with access to rapid, intensive training in high-demand technology fields like programming and data analysis.

Furthermore, the law extends the duration of VA housing loan fees, impacting the costs associated with veteran home purchases.

Payments to training providers are performance-based: 50% of the tuition cost is paid only after the veteran finds employment in the technology field.
The program provides educational assistance and a housing stipend for eligible veterans.
The expiration date for VA housing loan fees is extended from November 2031 to March 31, 2032.
