Military Learning for Credit Act of 2025

This bill would let people who receive VA education benefits use those funds to pay for certain exams or assessments that give college credit toward a degree at approved colleges and universities. Each test could be covered up to the test’s actual price or $500, whichever is less. If you use benefits for a test, it would count against your remaining benefits based on the test cost compared to your monthly benefit amount; it would not reduce any Defense Department Tuition Assistance you have.

Key points:

• Who is affected: People entitled to VA educational assistance, including veterans and other eligible individuals under specified VA education laws (chapters 30, 32, 33, 34, and 35, and similar laws).
• What changes: VA benefits could pay exam or assessment fees that award credit toward degrees; coverage is capped at $500 per exam or the exam’s cost, whichever is lower.
• When: If enacted, these options would be available for approved degree programs at institutions of higher learning.
