Air Guard STATUS Act of 2025

This bill creates a permanent program to cover tuition and educational expenses for Air National Guard members who meet their training requirements. It requires the Air Force Secretary to use existing authority under federal law (10 U.S.C. §2007) to pay for these costs, replacing temporary or inconsistent approaches. The program directly affects active-duty Air National Guard members who comply with their training obligations under 32 U.S.C. §502(a). This is a concrete policy change to standardize and ensure ongoing tuition assistance, not a new funding source or eligibility expansion.
