The bill amends section 402.33 of the Florida Statutes to authorize the Department of Children and Families, the Department of Health, and the Agency for Persons with Disabilities to access certain veteran benefit payments for minor clients. Specifically, it allows these departments to utilize benefit payments from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs that are allocated for postsecondary education services and support and aftercare services when a minor client reaches 18 years of age or, if still enrolled in school, 23 years of age.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that prohibits these departments from supplanting financial assistance that is already provided under section 409.1451(2)(b). The changes will take effect on July 1, 2026.
