Summary
This bill would allow veterans to use two VA programs at the same time: the Veteran Readiness and Employment (VR&E) program, which helps disabled veterans prepare for and find jobs, and VA educational assistance programs like the GI Bill. Currently, veterans must choose between these programs, but this legislation would remove that restriction so they can access both types of support simultaneously.
