A Chance To Serve Act
This bill, the "A Chance To Serve Act," provides expanded benefits for Peace Corps and AmeriCorps volunteers. It extends job eligibility for 3 years after service, increases readjustment allowances from $125 to $425, and provides one year of health care coverage after service. The bill also suspends student loan payments and interest during service, doubles the Segal AmeriCorps Education Award, and ensures no discrimination based on immigration status. Additionally, it increases living allowances to 200% of the poverty line and expands student loan forgiveness for national service. These changes directly benefit current and former Peace Corps and AmeriCorps volunteers.
