McKeon introduces Veterans Educational Equity Act

Under California law, public institutions of higher education may not charge tuition to in-state residents. The post-9/11 GI Bill calculates a veterans educational benefits based on the public tuition and fees charged to an in-state resident. Thus, in California, veterans receive no tuition benefit and are often only allowed to use a fraction of their fee allotment at a private institution of higher education.

The Veterans Educational Equity Act ensures Californias brave soldiers can benefit from the full amount to which they are entitled under the post-9/11 GI Bill.
