A group of senators including Kansas Senator Jerry Moran have introduced the proposed Forever GI Bill Housing Payment Fulfillment Act.

It would ensure the VA reimburses veterans for missed or underpaid Forever GI Bill housing benefits. During a recent visit to Junction City Moran stated there has been case work where veterans called indicating they had encountered a problem with their GI Bill and benefits, particularly their housing. “You can be enrolled at a college, a university, a community college and not getting your housing payment through some computer snafu at the Department of Veterans Affairs. Initially it seemed that the VA was going to just look the other way. In fact they announced that the past benefits that were due would not be made up.

The new bipartisan legislation would ensure the Department of Veterans Affairs reimburses veterans formissed or underpaid Forever GI Bill housing benefits.
