COVID-19 Military Mandate Transparency Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Defense to study service members who left the military between August 24, 2021, and January 10, 2023, solely because they refused the COVID-19 vaccine. The study would count how many of these members had started transferring GI Bill education benefits to a dependent and how many did not finish the service time needed for the dependent to use those benefits. It would also count denied religious exemptions and members who returned to service under Executive Order 14184. The report, due to Congress within 180 days, would include an estimate of the cost of letting affected dependents use the transferred benefits, and it would be posted on the Department of Defense website within 60 days after submission.
