Under current law, VA pays education benefits under several programs for eligible service members, veterans, and their dependents. Potential beneficiaries submit an application online, by mail, or in person, and VA reviews the application and determines whether the applicant is eligible. Beneficiaries of some programs who have an authenticated online account with VA can access their certificate online, but many people can only receive one in the mail. The department currently plans to change its information technology systems so that it will be able to provide electronic Certificates of Eligibility to all beneficiaries; however, it does not expect that it will have those changes in place by the deadline established in the bill. Thus, CBO expects that implementing the legislation would accelerate those changes somewhat but would not significantly affect discretionary costs over the 2020-2025 period. The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Paul B.A. Holland. The estimate was reviewed by Leo Lex, Deputy Director of Budget Analysis.
