Summary
This bill amends title 38 of the United States Code to establish a new provision allowing certain former members of the Armed Forces to transfer their educational assistance entitlement. Specifically, it directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to provide an opportunity for individuals separated due to their refusal to receive a COVID-19 vaccination to transfer these benefits to their eligible dependents. This transfer window will be open for a 90-day period beginning on the date of the subsection's enactment. The provision applies to service members who were involuntarily or voluntarily separated from an Armed Force between August 24, 2021, and January 10, 2023, solely because they refused a COVID-19 vaccination. Additionally, it clarifies that a child receiving transferred entitlement may commence its use once the service member has completed at least six years of service in the Armed Forces.
