The Secretary of the Department of Veteran Affairs announced a blanket waiver to all non-compliant states until December 31, 2015 (granted a waiver).<\/p>\n

The Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act of 2014 (\u201cChoice Act\u201d) included a provision affecting students using the Post-9\/11GI Bill\u00ae and Montgomery GI Bill. The law requires the VA\u00a0to disapprove programs under the Post-9\/11 GI Bill and the Montgomery GI Bill-Active Duty at public institutions of higher learning if the school charges certain individuals tuition and fees in excess of the resident rate for terms beginning after July 1, 2015.<\/p>\n

The VA is\u00a0working with every state and territory since December on complying – no state or territory has indicated its schools do not intend to comply with the law. In fact, as of today 21 states comply with the resident rate-requirements of the Choice Act (www.benefits.va.gov\/gibill\/702.asp<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The VA is\u00a0working hard to ensure all GI Bill beneficiaries have up to date information and is\u00a0updating the GI Bill website with the latest information as schools and states comply with these requirements.<\/p>\n

You can also find\u00a0breaking information on the GI Bill Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can also\u00a0read new FAQs by visiting here<\/a> and searching \u201c702\u201d or you can call 1-888-GIBILL-1 to speak with a Customer Service Representative who is ready to answer your\u00a0questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
