S.649 – Guard/Reserve G.I. Bill Parity Act of 2026 Would allow additional federal active-duty service performed by National Guard members and Reservists under specific duty statuses to count towards their GI Bill eligibility, aligning their benefits with the benefits of those earned by active-duty service members.
Work to pass the Guard/Reserve G.I. Bill Parity Act of 2026 to count additional qualifying Guard and Reserve active-duty service toward GI Bill eligibility.
Occurrences
Evidence
Moran and Bost introduced the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act, a broad veterans package, and Moran said he looked forward to working with colleagues to pass it.
The committee recap again described the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act and listed its included bills; the Guard/Reserve GI Bill Parity Act is not among the named measures.
Assessments
As of June 20, 2026, official Senate Veterans' Affairs materials show Jerry Moran actively advancing a broad veterans package, the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act. But the committee’s June 10 and June 12, 2026 descriptions and detailed included-bill list do not show the specific Guard/Reserve G.I. Bill Parity Act of 2026 among the measures being moved, and the available record here does not show that this specific parity proposal was separately introduced, advanced, or enacted. That means there is evidence of general veterans-legislation activity, but not enough to credit delivery or a clearly documented serious push on this exact promised measure yet.
