A meme claimed that: 'Democrats killed a bill for tuition assistance for children of veterans killed in battle, THEN APPROVE subsidizing the education and healthcare of 'Illegal Immigrants.''
As stated in a meme, “Democrats killed a bill for tuition assistance for children of veterans killed in battle, THEN APPROVE subsidizing the education and healthcare of ‘Illegal Immigrants.'”In 2019 Democrats in the New York state Legislature blocked a bill that would have expanded eligibility for an existing program that offered tuition assistance to members of Gold Star families.
To be clear: The blocked bill proposed expanding the state’s Military Enhanced Recognition Incentive and Tribute scholarship program to include family members of those killed or disabled insituations. The MERIT program already provides tuition and other assistance to family members of military personnel killed or disabled while engaged in In other words, the children of someone “killed in battle,” as the meme put it, would seem to qualify for the existing tuition-assistance program.
Democratic legislators said their college aid proposal would go into effect April 1, 2020, presumably giving lawmakers time to include additional spending for military family scholarships in next year’s budget.a plan on April 17, 2019, to immediately grant tuition assistance to family members of all New York service members who were killed while performing any official duties, effectively providing a stop-gap until the new legislation took effect in 2020.
So while Democrats did indeed block a tuition-assistance bill for families of service members who were killed or disabled outside of combat, this applied only in New York state and tuition assistance remained available to families of service members who were killed or disabled while in service.
