Section 702 of the Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act of 2014 (“Choice
Act”), requires VA to disapprove programs of education for payment of benefits under
the Post-9/11 GI Bill and Montgomery GI Bill-Active Duty at public institutions of higher learning if the schools charge qualifying
Veterans and dependents tuition and fees in excess of the rate for resident students
for terms beginning after July 1, 2015. These new requirements will ensure that our
Nation’s recently discharged Veterans, and their eligible family members, will not
have to bear the cost of out-of-state charges while using their well-deserved education
benefits.
