Revisiting Federal Benefits Rules – The Supreme Court Takes Up Veterans Case

The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear the Rudsill vs. McDonough case, a critical lawsuit that could redefine federal benefits rules and increase tuition funds for potentially millions of veterans. This decision could conclude an eight-year legal battle and compel Veterans Affairs leaders to disburse the funds in upcoming semesters.

Key Points: 

  1. The case is focused on the handling of education support under the Post-9/11 GI Bill and the Montgomery GI Bill programs by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Currently, veterans are required to give up their eligibility for the Montgomery GI Bill when they start using the Post-9/11 GI Bill, preventing them from receiving more tuition support from the former after exhausting benefits from the latter.
  2. If the court rules against the VA’s interpretation of program administration, veterans who have exhausted their Post-9/11 GI Bill might get an additional 12 months of funding for school. This could be beneficial for those who fell a few semesters short of achieving a degree.
  3. Lawyers Misha Tseytlin and Timothy McHugh, who have been handling the case, noted that if they prevail, around 1.7 million post-9/11 veterans would be eligible to receive additional educational benefits totaling billions of dollars. They believe this could be transformative for millions of veterans and their communities.
  4. The plaintiff, Army veteran Jim Rudisill, used his Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits after being wounded in a roadside bomb attack in Iraq in 2005. He sued when VA officials denied his request to use his unused Montgomery GI Bill benefits to attend Yale Divinity School.
  5. The Supreme Court’s final decision is expected in the spring of 2024, following a hearing scheduled for the fall of 2023. The VA has declined to comment on the ongoing case.
