house Bill H.R. 3218
Expanding the GI Bill
Argument in favor
The GI Bill has helped veterans obtain higher education since 1944, and it should be modernized and expanded to reflect modern veterans’ educational aspirations and realities. After serving this country, veterans should be able to pursue whatever educational or vocational training they’re interested in, and the GI Bill should help pay for it.

Truly a great bill that helps thousands of veterans that have been left behind by the current GI Bill. This will serve all future veterans without costing tax payers anything. If you would like more information visit forevergibill.org or google HR 3218.

These areas include access to care, quality of care, homelessness, PTSD, Suicide, benefits for Veterans and offspring, especially in the area
the death of the veteran parent being associated with their service and the children's disabilities as a result of that service be expanded in eligibility resulting in quality of care and benefits.
Argument opposed
The GI Bill already funds the vast majority of schools that veterans may choose to attend — it shouldn’t be expanded any further, as doing so might significantly increase its cost down the line. Likewise, expanding the eligibility criteria for GI Bill benefits is going to increase the program’s costs down the line, as more people are eligible for them.

No yes vote without more details. This bill needs to prevent taxpayer money from going to (and veterans from being taken by) scams like Trump University.

Not enough information. GI Bill has helped many vets, and I would like to see this continue. Both my father and late husband benefited greatly. I don

This should not reduce the BAH of veterans. BAH is the life line that we use and reducing it puts us in a tougher situation financially. It's already not enough in alot of areas(depending on where you live). Also it would be great to add current GI bill elligable Vets to the non-expert ion aspect of it.
