New GI Bill

The new GI Bill, known as the Forever GI Bill, was signed into law in June 2022. This bill makes significant changes to the GI Bill program, including:

Increasing the maximum amount of tuition and fees that can be covered by the GI Bill
Extending the time period that veterans have to use their GI Bill benefits
Making it easier for veterans to transfer their GI Bill benefits to their dependents

The Forever GI Bill is a major victory for veterans. It will help to ensure that veterans have the resources they need to pursue their education and achieve their goals.

VA's New Policy on Medical Marijuana

In May 2022, the VA announced a new policy on medical marijuana. This policy allows VA doctors to recommend medical marijuana to veterans for the treatment of certain conditions, such as chronic pain and PTSD.

The VA's new policy on medical marijuana is a significant step forward. It will help to ensure that veterans have access to the treatments they need to improve their quality of life.

Other Updates to Veterans Laws and Benefits

In addition to the new GI Bill and the VA's new policy on medical marijuana, there have been a number of other updates to veterans laws and benefits in recent years. These updates include:

Expansion of the VA's caregiver program
Increased funding for veterans' mental health services
New protections for veterans who are victims of sexual assault

These updates are all designed to improve the lives of veterans. They demonstrate the government's commitment to providing veterans with the benefits they deserve.

The updates to veterans laws and benefits described in this article are a positive step forward. They will help to ensure that veterans have the resources they need to succeed in life.

If you're a veteran, it's important to be aware of all the benefits you're entitled to. The VA has a number of resources available to help you learn about your benefits and apply for them. You can visit the VA's website at https://www.va.gov/ or call the VA's benefits hotline at 1-800-827-1000.
