The bill would
  * Expand the conditions for full restoration of education benefits for students affected by the closure or
     disapproval of schools
  * Make schools responsible for repaying overpayments of tuition benefits from the Department of Veterans
     Affairs (VA) under the Post-9/11 GI Bill
  * Allow military service members to transfer Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits to their child wards and children ages
     21 through 25
  * Authorize housing allowances under the Post-9/1 1 GI Bill during short periods of active-duty service
  * Require students receiving Post-9/1 1 GI Bill benefits to verify their enrollment status to VA

Estimated budgetary effects would primarily stem from
  * Additional use of veteran education benefits by students affected by the closure or disapproval of schools
  * Higher recovery rates for tuition overpayments
  * Additional use of Post-9/1 1 GI Bill benefits transferred to child wards and children ages 21 through 25
  * Payment of housing allowances under the Post-9/11 GI Bill during short periods of active-duty service

Areas of significant uncertainty include
  * Estimating the number of students affected by the closure or disapproval of schools, the number of those
     students who would apply for and use restored benefits, and the period for which they would use those
     benefits
  * Estimating the number of children ages 21 through 25 who would receive and use transferred benefits under
     the Post-9/1 1 GI Bill and the period for which they would use those benefits
