To amend title 38, United States Code, to extend eligibility for survivors' and dependents' educational assistance to the dependent parent of a person who dies of a service-connected disability or has a total and permanent service-connected disability, and for other purposes.

This bill would let the dependent parent of a person who died of a service-connected disability, or who has a total and permanent service-connected disability, qualify for the Survivors' and Dependents' Educational Assistance program run by the Department of Veterans Affairs. It adds dependent parents to the list of people eligible for these education benefits. It also updates related rules on when eligibility ends, the time period in which benefits can be used, and payment for correspondence courses so that they apply to dependent parents.
