The COVID-19 pandemic is ‘over’ — and the GI Bill needs to adapt
'When colleges moved to remote learning in 2020, Congress passed a fix that changed the in-person stipulation and provided a temporary adjustment that allowed those using benefits to take classes completely over the internet. Now, in 2023, it’s normal for individuals to be back to taking classes full-time in person and the GI Bill has gone back to requiring one class to be in person in order to be eligible for the full housing allowance.' -Colin Andersen (BS'23 - Army Veteran).
