Capitol Hill Policy: Recess Update

Join us for an Informative Legislative Policy Update
Thursday, February 27th, 2:00PM – 2:30PM EST

Elevate Vets (EV), created and supported by Veterans Education Success (VES), is a resource that provides higher education professionals with resources and insights to effectively support military-connected students, develop professionally, and be successful with this unique community of non-traditional learners. 

As part of that effort, VES invites you to a webinar that will provide the latest policy updates on developments on Capitol Hill. Discover the pivotal legislative changes that are shaping the future of education benefits for veterans and military personnel. 

Topics We’ll Cover:

  • The New Congress: A look at the 119th Congress, and how the year has kicked off. Hear what the core priorities are taking center stage, and what you can expect in the coming months.
  • Major Legislation: Learn about issues that have received focused attention from advocates and Hill staff alike, and where current legislative proposals stand.
  • GI Bill Restoration: Hear about the progress on legislation to restore defrauded veterans.
  • And Much More: Stay informed about updates on Veterans Affairs Appropriations, and a look ahead on what this year may hold in the post-Election capital.

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.

Topics We’ll Cover:

  • The Final Push Congress: A look at the 119th Congress’ Second Session, and how the year has kicked off with legislative attempts to cut social programs, including education. Hear what the core priorities are taking center stage, and what you can expect in the coming months.
  • What to Expect: Progress on the House Majority’s new reauthorization approach, how election-year pressures continue to narrow legislative pathways, and the ongoing push for GI Bill restoration. We will also look ahead to oversight and accountability issues at VA and in higher education.
  • Major Legislation: Learn about issues that have received focused attention from advocates and Hill staff alike, including a widely opposed bill to repeal the 90/10 Rule, and where other legislative proposals stand.
