President Joe Biden has signed into law the VETS Credit Act, a policy to ensure student veterans can easily transfer course credits to another institution should their school close or program abruptly end. The legislation had passed the U.S. House 412-1 in May with bipartisan support and passed the U.S. Senate unanimously in December.<\/p>\n The bill \u2013 sponsored by Rep. Buchanan of Florida, includes a bill from Rep. Greg Murphy of North Carolina that makes it easier for dependents of veterans or active-duty military to retain transferred Post-9\/11 G.I. Bill benefits.<\/p>\n \u201cVeterans across this nation earned their benefits with honorable military service to our country. With Rep. Buchanan\u2019s VETS Credit Act signed into law, these benefits are guaranteed so that our servicemen and women returning home have easy access to a college education,\u201d Murphy said in a statement.\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m proud that my commonsense bill is included in the VETS Credit Act to ensure clerical errors do not prevent dependents from receiving well-earned educational assistance. This is a tremendous step for our outstanding military families.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"President](\"https:\/\/img.diverseeducation.com\/files\/base\/diverse\/all\/image\/2022\/12\/President_Joe_Biden.63add93a33204.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&fit=max&q=70&w=400)
