The U.S. Supreme Court said Monday it will hear the appeal of a decorated Army veteran who says the government shortchanged his GI Bill benefits — a case that could open up additional college money for 1.7 million long-serving vets.
The case centers on the calculation of educational benefits that service members who qualify under both the Montgomery GI Bill and the Post-9/11 GI Bill earn.
James Rudisill, 43, says the federal Department of Veterans Affairs wrongly cut short the number of months of college benefits he earned under both GI bills over the course of multiple periods of service in the Army.
