Purple Heart Veterans Education Act of 2025

This bill lets veterans who received a Purple Heart for military service on or after September 11, 2001, give their unused Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits to family members like a spouse or child, up to 36 months' worth. The veteran can change or take back any unused portion of the transferred benefits at any time by submitting a written notice. The transferred benefits cannot be treated as shared property in a divorce, and if the veteran passes away, the family member can still use the benefits. If too much education money is paid out by mistake, both the veteran and the family member are responsible for paying it back, and the VA and Department of Defense are required to work together to make these transfers happen.
