Topics We’ll Cover:

  • 118th Congress, Second Session: A look at the second half of the 118th Congress, and what the year may hold. Hear what the core priorities are, and what you can expect to top the headlines.
  • GI Bill Restoration: Hear about the progress on HR 1767, a bill that would take a significant step towards empowering the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to restore GI Bill benefits for student veterans. Explore the bipartisan efforts that are reshaping eligibility for education benefits.
  • Upcoming Hearings: Learn about issue areas that will get focused attention from advocates and Hill staff alike, including what the March Joint VA Committee hearings will look like.
  • And Much More: Stay informed about updates on Veterans Affairs Appropriations, Closures & Disapprovals, a Transcript Withholding Ban, Program Approval Standards, and the Guard & Reserve Parity Act.

Stay informed about critical policy changes that directly impact veterans’ education and benefits. In addition to presenting what we know, we would welcome your questions, comments, and suggestions to guide us in our work.
