Student Veteran Benefit Restoration Act of 2025

This bill helps people who use Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) education benefits and get cheated by a school. If a school took VA payments on a student’s behalf and defrauded them, the student’s used VA education benefits would be restored. The VA would also seek repayment from those schools for the money they received. This is set up by adding a new section focused on restoring benefits for students at certain educational institutions.

Key points:

• Who is affected: People using VA education benefits who were defrauded by schools that received VA payments for them.
• What changes: VA restores the student’s eligibility for education benefits and requires the school to repay the VA.
• Why it matters: Students hurt by school fraud wouldn’t lose their hard-earned VA benefits and could keep working toward their education goals.
