Veteran Education Assistance Adjustment Act

This bill raises the yearly book, supplies, and equipment stipend for students using the Post‑9/11 GI Bill and then ties that stipend to inflation going forward. Starting in fiscal year 2026, the amount will automatically increase each year based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI‑U), rounded to the nearest dollar. The text shows the stipend set at $1,400 and creates the annual inflation adjustment so it keeps pace with rising costs.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Veterans, service members, and eligible dependents using Post‑9/11 GI Bill education benefits.
• What changes: The annual stipend for books, supplies, and equipment is set at $1,400 and will get automatic yearly increases tied to inflation (CPI‑U).
• When: The automatic increases begin with fiscal year 2026.
