This bill establishes a new education benefit for dependents of disabled veterans in Minnesota, codified under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 136A. It outlines eligibility criteria, stating that dependents must be enrolled in an undergraduate degree or certificate program at a state-operated institution and be the child of a veteran with a total and permanent disability or a disability rating of 70 percent or more.

The bill specifies the award amounts for educational benefits, providing 100 percent coverage of tuition, fees, and books for dependents of veterans with a total disability, and 50 percent for those with a 70 percent disability rating. It also ensures that receiving this award does not impact the recipient's eligibility for state grants. Additionally, the bill mandates that eligible institutions request payment on behalf of the student only after confirming enrollment or completion of the term for which the payment is intended.
