Veteran Education Assistance Adjustment Act of 2026

This bill changes the Post-9/11 GI Bill payment that helps students pay for books, supplies, equipment, and other school costs. It raises the yearly cap on this payment from $1,000 to $1,500 in two parts of the law. It also raises a related per-unit amount from $83 to $128. Starting with fiscal year 2026, the Department of Veterans Affairs would increase these amounts each year by the percentage rise in the Consumer Price Index, rounded to the nearest dollar.
