Forever GI Bill Housing Payment Fulfillment Act of 2018
Sponsor: John Boozman (R-AR)
This bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to establish a team of experts to report to Congress addressing issues in the implementation of educational housing assistance for veterans. Specifically, the team will address issues with the payment of educational housing stipends to eligible veterans, as a result of amendments made to the Harry W. Colmery Veterans Educational Assistance Act, commonly known as the Forever GI Bill. Among other things, changes made to the act affected the calculation of the housing stipend amount based on campus location.
