Good news...Pentagon Delays Big Changes to Post-9/11 GI Bill Transfer Rules! ⁦@VFWHQ⁩

“Current statute gives counselors a preeminent role in helping disabled veterans choose a school...VA must ensure veterans and taxpayers are not paying for programs that are less likely to lead to a degree or employment.” -@TanyaMAng

[Veterans Education Success @GIBillRights]

“The last time the case management system for VR&E was updated was over two decades ago, in 1997. Complaints from both students and school administrators have revolved around...what one school administrator referred to as, the black hole of certification.” - @TanyaMAng

[Nikki Wentling @nikkiwentling]

"We do not make changes based on these comments, as we believe VA’s access standards as proposed were based on reasoned research and analysis and are therefore not arbitrary."

[Nikki Wentling @nikkiwentling]

The VA published to the federal register its final rules for the new community care program under the Mission Act. They go into effect Thursday. The rules were unchanged, despite criticisms from some groups that the 30-minute, 20-day rules were arbitrary. https://t.co/jSqjIqUrqy

“Wounded Warrior Project aims to not only assist #veterans with injuries but empower them to live the most productive lives possible. Many times, this means connecting them with meaningful employment.” - @WWP government affairs director, Derek Fronabarger

"We urge Congress to pass HR 444, which would eliminate the 12yr delimiting date for eligibility and provide veterans Voc Rehab for life!" NVS Dep Director Pat Murray - House Veteran Affairs Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity. #VocRehab4Life

[VFW National HQ @VFWHQ]

The 12 year limit on utilizing VR&E is detrimental to older veterans who might be seeking retraining to stay current with the evolving job market, or a change in employment needs due to a service-connected disability received years ago. #VFWTestimony
