This bill establishes a new education benefit for dependents of disabled veterans in Minnesota, codified as section [136A.1468] in the Minnesota Statutes. The eligibility criteria specify that a dependent child of a veteran with a total (100 percent) and permanent disability or a disability rating of 70 percent or more can receive educational benefits if they are enrolled in an undergraduate degree or certificate program at a state-operated institution or the University of Minnesota. The bill outlines the award amounts for the educational benefits, stating that dependents of veterans with a total disability will receive 100 percent of tuition, fees, and books after accounting for other financial aid, while those with a 70 percent disability rating will receive 50 percent. Additionally, the bill ensures that these awards do not impact the recipient's eligibility for state grants. Institutions are required to request payment on behalf of eligible students only after confirming their enrollment or completion of the term for which the payment is intended.
