Veterans Discharged Over COVID Vaccine Refusals Now Eligible for GI Bill Benefits

“Nearly 900 veterans who were discharged for refusing the COVID vaccine are now eligible for restored GI Bill benefits. The change follows an executive order signed in January directing the military to review pandemic-era separations and correct records where appropriate. Defense officials say thousands more veterans could also qualify as their cases are reviewed. The goal is to provide updated benefits, potential back pay, and discharge upgrades for those affected by the former mandate.”
