Note:	The	above	list	of	federal	veterans	education	benefits	to	be	excluded	from	OFA	previously	included	benefits
received	under	the	Veterans	Retraining	Assistance	Program	(VRAP)	and	the	Veterans	Rapid	Retraining	Assistance	Program

specifically	listed	in	the	HEA	may	be	excluded	from	OFA.	Because	benefits	received	under	the	VRAP	and	VRRAP	programs
are	not	included	in	the	statutory	list	of	federal	veterans	education	benefits	to	be	excluded	from	OFA,	they	have	been
removed	from	this	list.
