President Joe Biden on Friday signed into law a measure to ease reporting requirements<\/a> for GI Bill benefits<\/a> at schools, an effort supporters say will help schools focus their resources less on bureaucratic paperwork and more on helping student veterans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ensuring the Best Schools for Veterans Act<\/a> easily advanced through Congress with bipartisan support earlier this summer. Now that it has become law, the provisions will go into effect for schools immediately, providing some relief for the fall semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement following congressional passage of the measure, House Veterans\u2019 Affairs Committee ranking member Mike Bost, R-Ill. \u2014 one of the lead authors of the bill \u2014 praised the idea as a common-sense reform to evolving rules regarding the veterans education benefit<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c[This measure] will improve oversight to prevent fraudulent programs from taking advantage of veterans,\u201d he said. \u201cThis way, schools will spend less time filling out government paperwork, and more time helping student veterans achieve their education goals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t
