Legislation Would Expand GI Bill To Drilling Guardsmen, Reservists

摘要

Legislation introduced in both the House and Senate in February aims to address a benefits disparity by expanding eligibility for the Post-9/11 GI Bill. The bill would change the way benefits are calculated by counting every duty day, including weekend drills. Currently, drilling National Guardsmen and Reservists earn credit only when deployed while those on active duty earn it continuously.
