Many veterans don't know about the VA's Veteran Readiness and Employment program — a benefit that can cover education, training, and job placement services for those with service-connected disabilities. This short bill would require the VA to regularly send letters to every eligible veteran explaining the program and include a side-by-side comparison with GI Bill benefits, both in the mailing and on a public VA website. The idea is to make sure veterans can make an informed choice about which education benefit works best for them.
