Bill overview
The Post-9/11 Veteran Business Acceleration Act creates a pilot program within the Department of Veterans Affairs, in collaboration with the Small Business Administration. This program allows eligible veterans receiving Post-9/11 educational assistance to choose to receive financial assistance instead for starting or expanding a small business. Eligible veterans must meet specific criteria including credit score requirements and not be in bankruptcy. The program will provide up to $20,000 in annual funding, with payments distributed over three years, and requires detailed tracking of expenses.
