The REAP program ended on November 25th, 2015. However, under the National Defense Authorization Act of 2016, some REAP benefits will remain in place for 3 more years.
Will this affect me now that the program has ended?

What if I was using REAP benefits before November 24th of 2015?
You will have until November 25th, 2019 to continue using the benefits.
Does that count if I was already attending school on November 24th, 2015?
Yes, you would still apply.
