Student veterans looking to get their education benefits restored after an unexpected school closure would get clearer guidelines from the Department of Veterans Affairs under legislation finalized by Congress this week.

The Veterans Eligible to Transfer School Credit Act was approved by House lawmakers in May and finalized by the Senate this week. President Joe Biden is expected to sign the measure into law later this month.
