To amend title 38, United States Code, to extend eligibility for survivors' and dependents' educational assistance to the dependent parent of a person who dies of a service-connected disability or has a total and permanent service-connected disability, and for other purposes.

This bill expands access to educational assistance benefits by adding dependent parents to the list of eligible recipients under the Survivors' and Dependents' Educational Assistance program. Eligibility is granted to the parent of a service member who dies from a service-connected disability or is rated as totally and permanently disabled due to a service-connected condition. The legislation includes technical amendments to ensure these new beneficiaries are properly recognized in rules regarding when benefits end, how long they last, and how correspondence course payments are processed.
