The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of Army veteran James Rudisill in a significant case concerning veterans' educational benefits, allowing him to attend Yale Divinity School. The court's decision, a 7-2 verdict with Justices Thomas and Alito dissenting, overturns a prior Federal Circuit ruling and grants Rudisill the right to utilize educational benefits from both the Post-9/11 GI Bill and Montgomery GI Bill. This landmark ruling not only supports Rudisill's claim for 12 months of additional benefits but also sets a precedent that could affect approximately 1.7 million veterans who have earned benefits under more than one GI Bill program.
