A bill to amend title 38, United States Code, in order to entitle veterans to 54 months of educational assistance for all educational programs under chapter 34 of such title, to eliminate the time limitation within which educational assistance must be used, and to restore on behalf of certain veterans educational assistance benefits previously terminated.

Summary

Increases the period of veterans' education assistance from 45 to 54 months, and eliminates the delimiting period. Grants eligibility for such assistance to any veteran of World War II, the Korean conflict, or the Vietnam era whose previous entitlement terminated without such veteran's availing himself of all the assistance to which he was entitled.
