A bill to amend title 38, United States Code, to ensure that the Secretary of Veterans Affairs repays members of the Armed Forces for certain contributions made by such members towards Post-9/11 Educational Assistance, and for other purposes.

S 3970 requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to repay active-duty service members for contributions they made toward their Post-9/11 Educational Assistance benefits. It amends 38 U.S.C. §3327(f)(3) to establish a repayment process, effective August 1, 2023. The bill also adjusts a date in the housing loan fee table (38 U.S.C. §3729(b)(2)), changing it from November 14, 2031, to November 28, 2031. This directly affects current service members who paid into their education benefits and veterans applying for home loans under the housing program.
