Military Learning for Credit Act of 2025

This bill would let people who are entitled to veterans education benefits use those benefits to pay for tests and assessments that can earn them college credit. Covered tests include DSST and CLEP exams, the National Career Readiness Certificate exam, similar exams chosen by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, and college reviews of portfolios or written narratives showing prior military training or learning. The amount of benefits used for each test or assessment could not exceed the lesser of what the test costs or $500. The benefits used would be subtracted from the person's remaining entitlement based on the cost divided by their monthly benefit rate, without affecting Department of Defense education benefits such as Tuition Assistance.
