Rep. Barry Moore recently introduced two bills that aim to support veterans and their families. The Colonel John McHugh Tuition Fairness for Survivors Act and the Overseeing the G.I. Bill Act of 2021 help provide educational assistance to veterans and their families.
These bills are now included in H.R. 2167, which Rep. Mikie Sherrill introduced. The GI Bill National Emergency Extended Deadline Act (GI Bill NEED Act) would “allow the Secretary of Veterans’ Affairs to pause the 10 or 15 years’ time-limit to use GI Bill benefits during times of national emergency and other crises, and restart the clock after it’s safe for veterans to return to school.”
Moore stated on Twitter, “We have a responsibility to take care of our nation’s heroes. H.R. 2167 includes two of my bills, the Col. John McHugh Tuition Fairness for Survivors Act & the Overseeing the GI Bill Act of 2021, which bring us closer to securing long-overdue support for our veterans.”
