Lawmaker Offers Bill on GI Benefits Transfer

EAGLE — Rep. Raul Labrador, R- Idaho, is pushing legislation that would turn a deep, tragic loss into something positive for military families across the country.

On Thursday, the Congressman introduced the Shauna Hill Post 9/11 Education Benefits Transferability Act (H.R. 1112) to fix what he says is an oversight in current law regarding benefits under the GI Bill. Its intention is to right a wrong: to fill gaps in veterans’ education benefits.
