AAU joined ACE and 16 other higher education organizations on a letter to Senate Veteran’s Affairs Committee leaders Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS) and Jon Tester (D-MT) to express their strong support for H.R. 6322, the “Student Veteran Coronavirus Response Act of 2020.” According to the letter, the legislation “would provide the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) important flexibility to address disruptions to veterans’ education benefits caused by COVID-19 through December 21, 2020.” The measure includes provisions to provide flexibility that would allow the VA to: continue providing work-study allowances; distribute monthly housing allowance; restore education entitlements if a veteran needs to withdraw due to the pandemic; and provide extensions for expiring benefits.
