Overview
In fiscal year 2013, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provided over $12 billion in benefits for veterans' postsecondary education; however, questions have been raised as to whether some schools receive such funds as a result of inappropriate recruiting practices. Since the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008 (Post-9/11 GI Bill) went into effect, the number of veterans receiving VA education benefits has almost doubled-to over 1 million in fiscal year 2013-and the use of these benefits will continue to grow as the number of post-9/11 veterans is expected to increase to more than 5 million by 2020.
