This bill establishes an education benefit for dependents of disabled veterans in Minnesota, codified under a new section in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 136A. It outlines eligibility criteria for the benefit, stating that dependents must be enrolled in an undergraduate degree or certificate program at a state-operated institution and must be children of veterans with a total and permanent disability or a disability rating of 100 percent or more.

The bill specifies the award amounts for the educational benefits, providing 100 percent coverage of tuition, fees, and books for dependents of veterans with total and permanent disabilities, and 50 percent for those with a disability rating of 100 percent. It also ensures that receiving this award does not affect the recipient's eligibility for state grants. Additionally, it 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.
