About time the G.I. bill "holes" that have accumulated since it's inception are closed. I'm a VEAP Victim myself so I really want to see this sorted out.
The costs are more than repaid by the increased productivity of soldier/sailors/airmen/coast guardsmen returning to civilian lives.
Of course, it is also a Democrat attempt to attack the weak Republican record of support for veterans, but the bean counters (and Rummy, good riddance) left their flank open by ommission. I miss the Reagan Era Republican leadership as opposed to the current ship of fools.

Sec. 3313 (2) should be removed from this bill.
Are we not good enough for a graduate degree? The only stipulation should be the benefit period of 36 months and the required service.

I read the 21st century GI Bill, including hr 5651 and also s.22. The only "holes" I saw was you had to serve for 36 months after September 11, 2001. Have you read either of the bills I'm just curious b/c those really are the only stipulations. If your curious just type in s.22 or hr 5651 into google and read the full bill. I'm sure you can figure it out.

I agree with removal of Sec 3313. I have already spent the money and have a graduate degree. I could use the funds to continue with a PHD.

What about those of us who served prior to 09/11/01. Received disabilitites and have to poor through mountains of paperwork and repeatedly denied benefits
