      After two Lawsuits, VA Required to Increase G.I. Bill education benefits to More Veterans - Not VA Secretary Doug Collins Choice

      It is not VA Secretary Doug Collins maximizing choices, its the courts due diligence. In 2024, the Supreme Court ruled in Rudisill v. McDonough that Veterans with multiple qualifying periods of military service could obtain a combined 48 months of both MGIB and PGIB benefits. In January 2025, VA announced that more than 1 million Veterans potentially qualified for additional benefits under Rudisill. In 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims issued a precedential opinion in Perkins v. Collins. The Perkins ruling said Veterans with a single qualifying period of military service could obtain benefits under both PGIB and MGIB if the time-in-service requirements under both programs are met. VA estimates that the Perkins decision may enable an additional 1 million Veterans to receive up to an additional 12 months of benefits.

      Reduce Moves Through a Blended Education Program

      Many U.S. Navy officers turn down the opportunity to attend the U.S. Naval War College.
