20-Year Promise Act

This bill would change the Post-9/11 GI Bill so that people who serve a total of 20 or more years in the Armed Forces, in any duty status, would get 72 months of education benefits instead of the usual 36 months. These service members could also transfer up to 72 months of benefits to family members, compared with 36 months for everyone else. The usual 48-month cap on combined benefits from more than one VA education program would not apply to them. The changes would cover people who reach 20 years of service on or after the date the bill becomes law, no matter when they joined.
