Post-9/11 GI Bill Transfer Flexibility (S4231)

Current understanding

Introduced Senate bill (S4231) that would amend title 38 U.S. Code to increase flexibility in the transferability of Post-9/11 Educational Assistance benefits. For servicemembers and dependents, the effect would depend on which transfer constraints (e.g., who may receive transferred entitlement, timing, or reallocation rules) are loosened; for VA and DoD, it would adjust transfer-of-entitlement (TEB) administration without creating a new benefit. Status: introduced.
