This bill establishes an education benefit for dependents of disabled veterans in Minnesota, proposing new legal language to be added to Minnesota Statutes, chapter 136A. Under the new section [136A.1468] EDUCATION BENEFIT FOR DEPENDENTS OF DISABLED VETERANS, eligible individuals include dependent children of veterans who have a total and permanent disability or a disability rating of 100 percent or more. The bill outlines the eligibility criteria, which requires enrollment in an undergraduate degree or certificate program at state-operated institutions or the University of Minnesota. The bill specifies the educational benefit award amounts, with 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. Additionally, it ensures that these awards do not affect the recipient's eligibility for state grants. The process for payment is also detailed, requiring eligible institutions to request payment from the Office of Higher Education on behalf of the student, contingent upon proof of eligibility and enrollment.
