Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill changes three federal veterans and service member education benefit programs for people in apprenticeships or other on-the-job training. Under the Post-9/11 GI Bill, apprentices would receive a monthly housing stipend equal to the full military housing allowance for an E-5 with dependents in the area where their employer is located. Under the Montgomery GI Bill and the Selected Reserve education program, apprentices would receive 100 percent of the monthly education allowance instead of a reduced amount. The bill also removes the minimum monthly attendance requirement for apprentices and trainees in construction occupations under all three programs.
