VETT Act

This bill aims to make VA education benefits easier to use and more transparent for students. It updates the approval process for schools and programs so veterans and other VA students get clearer information before they enroll. If a school can’t provide every detail on the required personalized form, it must clearly say what might be missing or inaccurate and give its best estimate for those details, instead of leaving students in the dark . It also tells the VA to run a central website with up-to-date information about training for school certifying officials, so schools can better help students use their benefits.

Key points

• Who is affected: Veterans and other students using VA education benefits, and the schools they attend.
• What changes: Schools can provide a notice with best estimates when exact data isn’t available on the required form; VA must maintain a website with training info for school certifying officials .
• What it means for you: More upfront clarity on costs, aid, and outcomes before you enroll, and better-trained school staff to guide you through VA benefits.
