On March 21, President Trump signed into law S.3503, aimed at
protecting student veterans benefits as more and more transition to
online programs.
As we previously
reported, the US Department of Veterans Affairs (the VA) warned
that, without legislative action, students and veterans could see
reductions or disruptions to their educational assistance benefits
under the Post-9/11 GI Bill. Congress worked swiftly to take that
legislative action, and on March 21, President Donald Trump signed
into law S.3503, aimed at protecting those benefits as
more and more student veterans transition to online programs.
Although brief, S. 3503 addresses several limitations on
benefits the VA previously highlighted.
