Veterans Flight Training Responsibility Act of 2026
Refreshed 5 h ago
Introduced 2025-09-30Topic: veterans militarySummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would set a lifetime limit on how much Post-9/11 GI Bill money the Department of Veterans Affairs can pay for tuition and fees for certain programs. The limit applies to flight training programs at public colleges and to programs that public colleges provide through contracts with outside entities other than another public college. For people who first start such a program in the academic year beginning August 1, 2026, the limit would be $119,684, and it would rise each later year by a set inflation percentage. The limit would be reduced for people who receive less than the full benefit rate, and by any GI Bill benefits a person used before starting the program.
