AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would let people who qualify for veterans education benefits, such as the GI Bill, use those benefits to pay for exams and assessments that can earn them college credit. Covered tests include DSST and CLEP exams, the National Career Readiness Certificate exam, similar exams chosen by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, and college reviews of a student's portfolio showing prior military training or learning. The benefit used for each exam or assessment could not exceed the exam's cost or $500, whichever is less. The amount used would be subtracted from the person's remaining benefit months based on their monthly benefit rate, without affecting Department of Defense Tuition Assistance.
