Education Flexibility for Veteran Parents Act of 2024
This bill increases the monthly housing stipend for veteran parents using the Post-9/11 GI Bill to pursue education entirely through distance learning. It directly affects veteran parents with dependent children who take classes online full-time (more than half-time) instead of attending campus. The key provision amends the GI Bill to provide these parents the same housing stipend amount they would receive if physically attending most classes on campus in their local area. The change applies to the first academic year starting after the bill becomes law.
