Veterans' Education Benefits: Protection After School Closure or Program Disapproval.

This act protects veterans participating in the rapid retraining program, ensuring they do not lose their educational assistance if their school closes or their program of education is disapproved. This means veterans will not be charged for benefits received and can continue their education elsewhere without losing their entitled financial support.
Key points
Veterans retain educational assistance entitlement if their school closes or program is disapproved.
Payments for education at a closed or disapproved institution will not count against a veteran's benefit limit.
Institutions that close or have programs disapproved will cease to receive payments, and prior payments will be considered overpayments to be recovered.
