Student Veteran Benefit Restoration Act of 2025

This bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to restore GI Bill and other VA education benefits that veterans and other students used at a school during certain periods. These periods include times when the school was not approved, was found by the VA to have violated rules on deceptive practices, was found guilty of or liable for fraud by a court, was closed by the Department of Justice, or engaged in fraud and then closed. The periods must occur on or after the date the bill becomes law. Schools would have to agree, as a condition of approval, to repay the VA for restored benefits. The VA would also be able to file claims to recover fraud-related payments, and it would have to create an appeals process for schools.
