S. 4089, Veterans Rapid Retraining Assistance Program Restoration and Recovery Act of 2022
Summary
S. 4089 is a Senate bill introduced April 26, 2022 by Durbin 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. The short title is the Veterans Rapid Retraining Assistance Program Restoration and Recovery Act of 2022. Section 2 amends section 8006 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117–2) so that a payment of retraining assistance is not charged against the entitlement if the Secretary determines the individual could not complete a course because of a closure or disapproval. After a closure or disapproval, the institution receives no further payments, and payments already made are a liability of the institution to the United States.
