Provide service members more time to decide whether to contribute the necessary amounts from their pay in order to be eligible in the future for benefits under the Montgomery GI Bill for Active Duty (MGIB-AD)
Require public colleges and universities to charge no more than in-state tuition for nearly all students using veterans’ education benefits
Eliminate eligibility for the MGIB-AD for service members who join the military after September 30, 2029
Estimated budgetary effects would primarily stem from
Fewer service members making MGIB-AD contributions and the resulting net decline in their use of education benefits
Additional students qualifying for in-state tuition rates at public colleges and universities
Areas of significant uncertainty include
Projecting the number of service members who would not make MGIB-AD contributions and estimating the subsequent net decline in their use of education benefits
