Sens Banks, Hirono Introduce the Delivering Digitally to Our Veterans Act of 2025

Senators Jim Banks (R-IN) and Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) introduced the Delivering Digitally to Our Veterans Act of 2025. More than 600,000 veterans and 275,000 dependents use G.I. Bill education benefits. The US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is working to modernize the program through the Digital G.I. Bill, but most communications are still sent on paper. This legislation would allow veterans to opt-out of receiving hard copy G.I. Bill documents in the mail and instead receive electronic correspondence from VA. The bill would create the capability for veterans or dependents to opt into sending and receiving electronic communications related to their VA education benefits, and no longer receive these documents through the mail.
