Supports Pennsylvania National Guard families by allowing a Guard member's state education benefits to be applied toward repayment of a spouse's existing student loans.
Talking Points
Use these when contacting your representatives.
Pennsylvania's Education Assistance Program is a powerful recruiting tool, and letting members direct unused benefits to a spouse's student loans makes it stronger.
The proposal would allow a Guard member's state education benefits to be applied toward repayment of a spouse's existing student loans.
It recognizes that families serve too.
Spouses hold the home front through drills, deployments, and relocations; extending education benefits to their student debt is concrete support for members, veterans, and families.
Flexible benefits turn an unused benefit into a real retention incentive.
Members who have already finished their own education gain nothing from tuition benefits today; redirecting them to a spouse's loans changes that.
