John, I care about the issues veterans in our district face everyday. Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to connect with over sixty veterans across two roundtable discussions!
Today, in honor of students heading back to the classroom this month, I wanted to tell you about the Student Veteran Restoration Act – my bill to restore GI Bill education benefits to veterans who were defrauded by their educational institution. |
John, for what our veterans have sacrificed, they rightfully deserve their GI Bill benefits.
Yet, under current laws, if a student veteran is defrauded by a for-profit school, there is no way for their educational benefit to be restored.
Which means veterans across our district – like Christopher from Des Plaines, Andy from Hoffman Estates, Brian from Lisle, and Bryan who attended ITT Tech in Chicago – are having to go without being able to finish their degrees.
As a member of the Veterans' Affairs Committee, I couldn't let that happen. Education has always been so important to me, John, and I knew I had to do something. And I did. |
Now, I can proudly say that the Student Veteran Restoration Act has made its way out of committee and could be up for vote soon!

Thank you, Congresswoman Delia Ramirez |
