HB 6488 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING UNUSED VETERAN TUITION WAIVERS.

HB 6488 allows children of veterans to claim tuition waivers that their veteran parent was eligible for but did not use. The bill amends specific education statutes (10a-77, 10a-99, 10a-105) to extend eligibility for unused tuition waivers to veterans' children. This directly affects veterans' families who may now access educational benefits their parent was qualified for but did not utilize. The policy change simplifies access to unused benefits without requiring new applications from veterans.
