Bill information
Summary
To amend title 38, United States Code, to establish the monthly housing stipend under the Post-9/11 Educational Assistance Program for individuals who pursue summer programs of education solely through distance learning.
Plain-language summary
This bill changes how the Post-9/11 GI Bill—a benefit for veterans—calculates housing payments for online summer classes. Currently, veterans taking only distance-learning summer courses may receive reduced or no housing stipends. The bill would ensure these veterans get monthly housing payments during summer online education. The bill is currently introduced in Congress, meaning it has been formally submitted but not yet assigned to a for review.
