112th Congress, 2011–2012

[quote]To amend title 38, United States Code, to direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to develop a comprehensive policy to improve outreach and transparency to veterans and members of the Armed Forces through the provision of information on institutions of higher learning, and for other purposes.[/quote]

This bill provides much needed information to veterans about the institutions where they hope to use their educational benefits. Programs like this are necessary to ensure veterans use their benefits in the most informed way possible. It will also lower the likelihood of a veteran being preyed on by an underperforming college or institution.

Here is what other veterans had to say about H.R. 4057

 

Support H.R. 4057: Improving Transparency of Education Opportunities for Veterans Act of 2012

[quote]

Dear Sen. Richard Durbin and Sen. Mark Kirk:

I support H.R. 4057: Improving Transparency of Education Opportunities for Veterans Act of 2012 because…

I am a veteran who struggled to get my education benefits because the people who were supposed to help me at my school didn’t know how to help me. I spent hours on the phone while in a deep depression (I also have been diagnosed with PTSD) and ended up dropping out of school.

I also served near burn pits. I do not want to become sick and die before my time.

Oppose H.R. 4057: Improving Transparency of Education Opportunities for Veterans Act of 2012

[quote]

Dear Sen. Bill Nelson and Sen. Marco Rubio:

I oppose H.R. 4057: Improving Transparency of Education Opportunities for Veterans Act of 2012 because… we are doing something wrong. Armed Forces recruitment ads talk about the skills you will gain in military service, and then, somehow, we “need” 1001 programs to “train” veterans because they are unemployable.
