Restoring GI Bill Education Benefits for Military Families Affected by Abuse.
This law reinstates Post-9/11 GI Bill educational benefits for spouses and dependent children who lost access to these funds because the service member was discharged or convicted for a dependent-abuse offense. The change ensures that victims of domestic violence or sexual assault within military families retain their transferred educational funding, protecting their future even if the service member loses eligibility due to misconduct. Applications for reinstatement must be filed within 3 years of the service member's discharge.
