Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti joined a bipartisan coalition of 51 attorneys general in filing an amicus brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, supporting military veterans and their families in receiving full GI Bill education benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The case, Yoon v. Collins, centers on Lt. Col. Paul Yoon, a decorated Virginia Army veteran who served 24 years, including deployments. Despite the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Rudisill v. McDonough, the VA continues to deny Yoon full GI Bill education benefits and has blocked him from transferring those benefits to his daughter. “Tennessee is the proud home to so many who have served, and it’s my honor to join Virginia’s Jason Miyares and 50 other AGs to support the men and women who put their lives on the line protecting our freedoms,” Skrmetti said in a press release.
