John, I'm reaching out with great news –
|
My first bill, the Student Veteran Restoration Act, was passed in the House with bipartisan support!
|
John, let's not forget that before my bill was introduced, if a student veteran was defrauded by a for-profit school, there was no way for that educational benefit to be restored.
This meant that veterans across Illinois – 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.
I knew something had to be done here, John, so I went right to work.
|
Now, we're one step closer to ensuring all of our veterans receive the full scope of the benefits they earned and deserve!
|
Thank you so much,
Congresswoman Delia Ramirez
