H.R. 7243 — Restoration of Entitlement Under Veterans Rapid Retraining Assistance Program (March 28, 2022)
Summary
House bill 7243 is a bill to restore entitlement to educational assistance under the Veterans Rapid Retraining Program in cases of a closure of an educational institution or a disapproval of a program of education. Danny K. Davis of Illinois, for himself and Underwood, introduced it on March 28, 2022, and it was referred to the Committee on Veterans’ Affairs. Section 2 amends section 8006 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117–2) with a new subsection (n). Under it, retraining assistance is not charged against the entitlement of an individual the Secretary determines was unable to complete a course or program because of a closure or disapproval, and the institution receives no further payments under subsection (d). The amendments apply as if included in the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
