Expand education benefits for surviving dependents of fallen service members

Cohen supports the Gold Star Family Education Parity Act, which would expand and modernize education benefits for surviving dependents of service members who died in the line of duty. It would provide the full Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits their loved ones earned even if the service member did not formally transfer those benefits before dying.

Context: The source describes this as a measure he supports; it does not establish that it became law.

In their own words

even if those benefits were not formally transferred prior to the service member’s death.
