This week Senator Daniel Akaka (D-HI), Chairman of the U.S. Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee, introduced the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Improvements Act of 2010 (S. 3447)  as a starting point for discussion among Congress, veterans service organizations, and concerned Americans who want to improve the program.

The Act is intended to improve the Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits program by improving educational assistance for veterans who served in the Armed Forces after September 11, 2001 and for other purposes.
