Existing law establishes various educational benefits for dependents of veterans who were killed during military service or are totally disabled, as specified.

Existing law prohibits a dependent of a veteran from receiving these educational benefits during the time the dependent is entitled to receive specified federal educational benefits or duplicate assistance from any other government source. This bill would repeal that prohibition.
