WASHINGTON \u2013 Hoy, el Comit\u00e9 de Asuntos de Veteranos del Senado de los EE. UU. celebr\u00f3 una audiencia sobre la Ley de Educaci\u00f3n de C\u00f3nyuges de H\u00e9roes, legislaci\u00f3n para expandir el proyecto de ley GI posterior al 11 de septiembre para brindar beneficios educativos completos a los c\u00f3nyuges de los miembros del servicio que mueren en el cumplimiento del deber. El proyecto de ley bipartidista, escrito por el Senador de Oreg\u00f3n Jeff Merkley, fue presentado antes del fin de semana del D\u00eda de los Ca\u00eddos con el Senador Dean Heller (R-NV).<\/p>\n
\n\u201cCuando nuestros miembros del servicio sirven y se sacrifican, sus familias sirven y se sacrifican junto a ellos\u201d, dijo Merkley. \u201cNunca podremos pagar por completo la deuda que tenemos con los c\u00f3nyuges de nuestros h\u00e9roes que hicieron el \u00faltimo sacrificio, pero podemos asegurarnos de que puedan volver a la escuela y proporcionar una base para sus familias. Me complace que este proyecto de ley bipartidista avance y ahora est\u00e9 un paso m\u00e1s cerca de convertirse en ley\u201d. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Actualmente, los c\u00f3nyuges de los militares ca\u00eddos solo son elegibles para recibir beneficios educativos federales bajo el Programa de Asistencia Educativa para Sobrevivientes y Dependientes. Este programa proporciona una asignaci\u00f3n de hasta $936 por mes, pero a menudo no cubre el costo total de la matr\u00edcula y las tarifas. La Ley de Educaci\u00f3n de C\u00f3nyuges de H\u00e9roes modifica el proyecto de ley GI posterior al 11 de septiembre para expandir la Beca Fry, que proporciona matr\u00edcula y tarifas estatales completas a los hijos de los miembros del servicio que han muerto en el cumplimiento del deber. Este cambio permitir\u00eda a los c\u00f3nyuges recibir el costo total de la matr\u00edcula y las tarifas de pregrado p\u00fablicas en el estado, m\u00e1s un estipendio mensual para vivir y una asignaci\u00f3n para libros. Los c\u00f3nyuges tendr\u00edan que utilizar este beneficio dentro de los quince a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n
El proyecto de ley est\u00e1 respaldado por los Veteranos de Guerras Extranjeras, la Asociaci\u00f3n de Oficiales Militares de Am\u00e9rica, la Asociaci\u00f3n de la Guardia Nacional de los Estados Unidos, los Veteranos de Vietnam de Am\u00e9rica, la Asociaci\u00f3n de Sargentos de la Fuerza A\u00e9rea, la Orden Militar del Coraz\u00f3n P\u00farpura, la Legi\u00f3n Estadounidense. , Veteranos de Estados Unidos de Irak y Afganist\u00e1n, AMVETS y Estudiantes Veteranos de Estados Unidos. Adem\u00e1s, el Comit\u00e9 Legislativo de Veteranos de la Coalici\u00f3n Militar, una coalici\u00f3n<\/strong> compuesta por 33 organizaciones que representan a m\u00e1s de 5.5 millones de miembros de los servicios uniformados y sus familias, ha establecido como meta autorizar a los c\u00f3nyuges sobrevivientes a tener los mismos beneficios educativos que sus hijos.<\/p>\n
