Military Times | GI Bill protections extended for student veterans dealing with campus coronavirus changes
As part of the budget deal approved last week, Congress extended several financial protections for student veterans whose education plans have been disrupted by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
The provisions were tucked into the continuing resolution signed into law on Sept. 30 and will move the end date for the host of GI Bill protections from December of this year to December 2021.
They include flexibility for Veterans Affairs officials to keep paying full housing stipends to students forced into online-only classes because of campus coronavirus mitigation efforts, and extensions of work-study programs that have been disrupted by those changes. |
