This section modifies eligibility requirements for transferring unused entitlement to Post-9/11 educational assistance. It amends section 3319 of title 38, United States Code, to adjust the requirements for individuals seeking to transfer their educational assistance entitlement. Individuals must have completed at least 10 years of service in the uniformed services, with at least six years in the Armed Forces, or meet alternative service requirements. The modification allows members of the uniformed services with at least six years of service to transfer entitlement if they agree to serve for a period equal to the difference between 10 years and their current service. The section also includes individuals described in section 3311(b)(10) as eligible. The time frame for transferring entitlement is broadened, allowing transfers at any time subject to certain limitations. Rules regarding when a dependent child can commence using transferred entitlement are modified, requiring completion of secondary education or reaching 18 years of age. Several subsections within section 3319 are amended to reflect these changes, including redesignations and deletions of specific paragraphs and subsections.
