A bill to amend chapter 30 of title 38, United States Code, to provide that certain service by members of the Selected Reserve who are ordered to active duty in connection with the Persian Gulf conflict be deemed to satisfy certain requirements for basic educational assistance under such chapter, to revise the requirements for such assistance applicable to such members, and for other purposes.

Summary

Provides that, for purposes of eligibility for basic educational assistance under the Montgomery GI Bill, a member of the Selected Reserve called upon under executive order to active duty who performs active duty in the Persian Gulf and whose service there is determined to be honorable shall be deemed to have served two years of active duty and therefore shall be eligible for the full basic educational assistance. (Currently, members of the Selected Reserve are eligible upon completion of their reserve requirement to limited monthly basic educational assistance of approximately one-half the amount provided for former active-duty personnel.) Allows Selected Reserve personnel to combine their reserve duty and active duty in the Persian Gulf in order to meet the minimum two-year active duty requirement in order to receive such increased benefits.
