This bill, the Veterans Earned Education Act, would change who can transfer Post-9/11 educational assistance to eligible dependents by amending 38 U.S.C. 3319(b). It replaces the phrase "member of the uniformed services" with "individual." It adjusts where the phrase "has completed at least" appears for existing service-length rules, and it adds new eligibility categories: individuals who have completed at least 17 years of service in the Armed Forces and individuals retired under chapter 61 of title 10. It also renumbers an existing paragraph as paragraph (4).
If you are a service member, veteran, or an eligible dependent, this bill could expand which people are allowed to transfer Post-9/11 educational benefits to dependents. The bill adds specific service and retirement categories to the list of eligible transferors. Exact effects depend on how the amended rules apply to a person's service history.
