Gold Star Family Education Parity Act

This proposal would change veterans’ education law to end a certain VA education assistance program. It adds a new “Termination” section to the law with a part titled “Termination of authority,” signaling that the program’s legal authority would stop at a set point. The document’s title suggests it focuses on benefits for Gold Star families, aiming for parity with other education benefits, but the text provided only spells out the program’s termination structure, not replacement details or dates.

Key points

• Who is affected: People using a VA education assistance program under Title 38, including families connected to fallen service members (Gold Star families) as suggested by the act’s title.
• What changes: The authority for that program would end, by adding a new subchapter on “Termination” with a section called “Termination of authority”.
• When: The provided text does not show specific dates for when the program would end.
