Supreme Court to decide on expanded GI Bill benefits for veterans.
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the Rudsill vs. McDonough case, which could result in additional tuition money for millions of veterans. The case centers on how the Department of Veterans Affairs has awarded education support through its Post-9/11 GI Bill program and the Montgomery GI Bill program. The VA currently makes students give up eligibility for the Montgomery GI Bill program when they register to begin using the Post-9/11 GI Bill. If the Supreme Court rules against VA’s interpretation of how the programs must be administered, veterans who use up their post-9/11 GI Bill program might still get 12 more months of money for school.
