This bill changes the Post-9/11 GI Bill, a Department of Veterans Affairs education benefit program. It raises the yearly stipend cap for books, supplies, equipment, and other education costs from $1,000 to $1,400 in two sections of the law. Starting in fiscal year 2026, it requires the VA Secretary to raise these stipend amounts every year. Each yearly increase would match the rise in the Consumer Price Index for urban consumers, rounded to the nearest dollar.
