Streamlining Aviation for Eligible Veterans Act of 2025

This bill lets the Department of Veterans Affairs approve non‑degree flight training (like pilot training that isn’t part of a college program) as part of a veteran’s vocational rehabilitation plan. It applies to veterans with service‑connected disabilities who qualify for VA rehab services. In short, it would open the door for vets to use their rehab benefits for flight training programs that help them get job‑ready without needing to enroll in a college degree track.

If passed, this change would start for rehab programs approved on or after August 1, 2025.

• Who is affected: Veterans with service‑connected disabilities in VA vocational rehabilitation.
• What changes: VA could approve non‑degree flight training as part of a rehab plan, even if it’s not tied to a college degree program.
• When: For programs approved on or after August 1, 2025.
