Please monitor your UTK email for updates regarding changes to next week (if any) and beyond spring break. The VA is also working on a solution/legislation for BAH (Stipends) and below is the latest information. Just received today from VA, Friday, March 13th, 2020: Education Service is preparing guidance for schools that have changes in training modalities and operation statuses due to COVID 19. However, Congress has introduced legislation that, if enacted, will alleviate the impact to GI Bill beneficiaries for a switch to pursuit solely through distance education. In order to avoid confusion and the need to make multiple changes to enrollments, VA is asking all schools to temporarily refrain from making any adjustments to enrollment certifications if training has changed due to COVID 19. VA guidance is anticipated before the end of next week. Please let us know if you have questions.
