To amend title 38, United States Code, to authorize an individual who is awarded the Purple Heart for service in the Armed Forces to transfer unused Post-9/11 Educational Assistance to a family member, and for other purposes.

Benefit Transfer for Families: Veterans awarded the Purple Heart can transfer unused Post-9/11 Educational Assistance to one or more eligible dependents, providing educational opportunities to family members (Section 1(a), Section 3319A(a)).

Protection Against Marital Division: The bill ensures that transferred educational assistance cannot be treated as marital property or an asset subject to division during a divorce (Section 1(a), Section 3319A(f)(2)).

Flexibility for Caregivers: Children who act as primary caregivers for seriously injured veterans or service members can have their use of benefits delayed until they cease caregiving or reach age 26 (Section 1(a), Section 3319A(h)(5)(B)).

Emergency Protections: If an educational institution closes due to an emergency or an Executive order, the Secretary can extend the period an individual has to use their transferred benefits (Section 1(a), Section 3319A(h)(5)(C)).

Continuation of Benefits After Death: The death of the veteran making the transfer does not stop a dependent from using the educational assistance already transferred to them (Section 1(a), Section 3319A(h)(4)(A)).

Strict Age Limits for Children: Generally, a child receiving transferred benefits may not use them after attaining the age of 26 years (Section 1(a), Section 3319A(h)(5)(A)).

Requirement for High School Completion: A child cannot begin using transferred educational assistance until they have completed a secondary school diploma or equivalency certificate, or reached 18 years of age (Section 1(a), Section 3319A(g)).

Financial Liability for Overpayment: If there is an overpayment of educational assistance, both the dependent and the individual who made the transfer are held jointly and severally liable to the United States (Section 1(a), Section 3319A(i)).
