Bills make it easier for veterans to acquire education benefits

The Senate Committee on Veteran Affairs and Military Installations proposed two new bills to make acquiring education benefits easier for veterans and their families.

Both of the bills are authored by Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, D-San Antonio, the committee’s chairwoman. Van de Putte said the bills would help ease the transition from military service to being a student for veterans. The bills are pendings, and await a vote from the committee. If voted for, they will go to the Senate.

I really really hope this gets bipartisan support, I think this is one thing both sides can agree on!
