Last week @USedgov kicked off the #AHEAD #NegReg. Negotiators should start by retiring the #GainfulEmploymentRule—which has always been discriminatory, and now is also irrelevant. https://t.co/cF0PP8LoNd

[Veteran CareGiver @VetCareGiver]

Washington Post writes misleading piece about widespread #VeteransFraud, omitting critical facts. No VSO/advocate input, no understanding of complex conditions & convoluted process to access VA Disability Benefits. We need #VABenefitsReform and accurate reporting! https://t.co/EOg2XoTnKp

The @washingtonpost accused veterans of “exploiting” military benefits—a claim made out of context and using cherry-picked data. @NatlDefComm led a coalition of 28 #veteran orgs demanding accountability and answers. Read it here: https://t.co/5Gfqpv0hxn

Last week @usedgov began the RISE Committee negotiated rulemaking, which is considering changes to federal #studentloans. NDC exec director Bob Carey served as an alternate negotiated. See our full read-out and analysis here: https://t.co/85KgW6weOy

.@usedgov’s revision to the 90/10 Rule offers a long overdue correction to #regulatory overreach, but the Dept should go further to repeal the rule entirely, NDC exec director Bob Carey writes. Read the full letter here. https://t.co/eRD14mwqqa

The #OneBigBeautifulBill could finally repeal 2 of @usedgov’s most burdensome #highered regulations— 90/10 and Gainful Employment. The Senate would be wise to keep House’s language to scrap these biased rules, Bob Carey writes in @starsandstripes https://t.co/tDeg6z7wB5

Mass student loan cancellation and biased regulations are “fundamentally unfair” to veterans, military students, NDC Exec Dir Bob Carey told @usedgov #negreg committee last week. “A lot of veterans feel like we are gomers.” Watch his full comments here: https://t.co/djYu6YhUqh

"For the federal government to say where [military & veteran students] can and cannot use their educational benefits, it’s like them saying: ‘Here’s your paycheck. You can only shop at the Navy Exchange. You can’t shop at Target.’ And that’s wrong.”

[NationalDefenseCommittee @NatlDefComm]

Last month @NatlDefComm joined @CASE_forAmerica to discuss how selective regulation against career colleges & online #highered programs is fundamentally wrong and hurting military & veteran students. Watch our remarks here: https://t.co/ip6QMdAAnW #Veterans @usedgov

Thank you, @SenGaryPeters, @SenMarkKelly, @SenGillibrand, @Sen_JoeManchin, @SenatorShaheen, @ChrisVanHollen, @SenatorCardin, @SenJackReed, @SenWhitehouse, @MarkWarner, @ChuckGrassley, @SenatorLankford, @JohnCornyn, @MikeCrapo, @SenCapito, @SenJoniErnst, @SenatorBraun & @SenToddYoung

[NationalDefenseCommittee @NatlDefComm]

Thank you @TimKaine and @SenatorMarshall for leading the #bipartisan call for @usedgov to delay its #GainfulEmployment & #FVT deadlines. The Dept. should be focused on helping students & getting #FAFSA right, not selective regulation. https://t.co/4QCieo3KhB

[NationalDefenseCommittee @NatlDefComm]

@timkaine @SenatorMarshall @usedgov NDC commends the group of 18 senators who joined the letter. These rules selectively target career colleges and online programs—which are often a better fit for #veterans than traditional universities—and they have diverted resources from #FAFSA rollout.

[NationalDefenseCommittee @NatlDefComm]

The @usedgov’s and @DeptVetAffairs’ selective regulation against career colleges & online #highered programs hurts #veterans—and it is exacerbating our military’s recruiting crisis, @RepBurgessOwens and I write in the @WashTimes. Read the full piece here: https://t.co/kNeQ5h6E7a

[NationalDefenseCommittee @NatlDefComm]

It was a pleasure joining @RepBurgessOwens at the Congressional Lunch and Learn last week. #Veterans and #Military deserve freedom to choose #highered that’s right for them—not selective regulation.

Thank you @RepBurgessOwens for your leadership to ensure #military & #veterans can choose #highered options that are right for them.

[Rep. Burgess Owens @RepBurgessOwens]

For too long, the federal government has put roadblocks in the way of veterans' access to the education options of their choice.

Thank you to Bob Carey and @NatlDefComm for your tireless efforts and advocacy on behalf of our nation's heroes.

[NationalDefenseCommittee @NatlDefComm]

@RepBurgessOwens knows that ensuring veterans can choose #highered options that work for them is a national security issue. We need leadership like his to prevent @usedgov + @DeptVetAffairs from regulating career colleges & online programs into the ground. https://t.co/bfIgYfHZGm

[NationalDefenseCommittee @NatlDefComm]

NDC discussed education benefits, recruitment, & veterans with @BurgessOwens yesterday at the @GOPconvention. “We always thought the Department of Education was there for our kids, but they are there for traditional [higher ed] institutions.” Learn more: https://t.co/T8TQxMKQRa

NDC had the opportunity to talk w @BurgessOwens at the @GOP Convention today about the state of veterans affairs & how we can expand educational access to America's heroes

[NationalDefenseCommittee @NatlDefComm]

@BurgessOwens @GOP Thank you @BurgessOwens for your valuable insight and leadership. @GOPconvention
