A bill to amend title 38, United States Code, to modify the eligibility requirements for transfer of unused entitlement to Post-9/11 Educational Assistance, and for other purposes.

This bill changes who can transfer unused Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits to family members. A person could transfer benefits after completing at least 10 years of uniformed service, with at least six of those years in the Armed Forces. A current member with at least six years in the Armed Forces could also transfer benefits by agreeing to serve until reaching 10 years of total service. Approved individuals could transfer benefits at any time, subject to existing time limits on using the benefits. A child receiving transferred benefits could start using them after finishing high school (or an equivalent) or turning 18.
