The bill establishes a new education benefit for dependents of disabled veterans in Minnesota, codified under section [136A.1468]. To qualify for these educational benefits, individuals must be enrolled in an undergraduate degree or certificate program at a state-operated institution and be a dependent child of a veteran with either a total (100 percent) permanent disability or a disability rating of 70 percent or more. The bill outlines the eligibility criteria and specifies the award amounts, which are set at 100 percent of tuition and fees for dependents of veterans with a total disability and 50 percent for those with a 70 percent disability rating. Additionally, the bill ensures that the educational benefits awarded will not impact the recipient's eligibility for state grants. It mandates that eligible institutions request payment on behalf of the student only after verifying enrollment or completion of the term for which the payment is intended. The bill aims to provide financial support to the dependents of disabled veterans, facilitating their access to higher education.
