Guard and Reserve GI Bill Parity Act of 2025
Summary
The Guard and Reserve GI Bill Parity Act of 2025 would expand educational assistance benefits for members of the National Guard and reserve components of the Armed Forces. Currently, only federal active duty service counts toward Post-9/11 GI Bill eligibility. If enacted, this bill would allow additional types of military service to qualify, including inactive-duty training, annual training duty, and full-time National Guard duty or active duty.
This change would potentially make educational benefits more accessible to reserve and National Guard members who serve their country but may not accumulate enough federal active duty time to qualify under current rules. The bill is currently under committee consideration and has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives.
