Veterans Benefits and Health Care Improvement Act of 2000

Summary

All-Volunteer Force Educational Assistance Programs Improvements Act of 1999 - Amends Federal veterans' educational assistance benefits provisions to: (1) authorize the use of such benefits for preparatory courses for tests for admission to colleges and graduate schools; (2) increase the monthly rate of basic educational assistance; and (3) increase the rate of survivors' and dependents' educational assistance, including assistance used for correspondence courses, special restorative training, and apprenticeship training. Authorizes individuals eligible for basic educational assistance as either active-duty or Selected Reserve personnel to make contributions (not to exceed $600) for an increased amount of such assistance. Continues eligibility for basic educational assistance for individuals who are discharged for immediate reenlistment to accept a commission as an officer and who subsequently complete the resulting period of obligated active duty service as such an officer. Allows an individual who previously elected not to participate in the educational assistance program to withdraw such election at any time before his or her discharge or release from active duty or reserve service. Requires such individual's monthly basic pay to be reduced for program participation. Authorizes the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to pay basic educational assistance on an accelerated basis, at the request of an individual. Reduces the total assistance entitlement for such an individual by the appropriate amount. Directs the Secretary to report annually to the congressional veterans' committees on veterans' education and vocational training benefits provided by the States. Expresses the sense of Congress that each of the States should admit qualified veterans to publicly-supported higher educational institutions on a tuition-free basis.
