Dependents and Veterans Education: Mitigating Circumstances and 
Other Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs.

ACTION: Correction to proposed rules.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to the proposed rules which 
were published Friday, June 24, 1994 (59 FR 32671). The rules concerned 
submission of mitigating circumstances justifying a withdrawal from a 
course or receipt of a nonpunitive grade for a course.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: June C. Schaeffer, Assistant Director 
for Policy and Program Administration, Education Service, Veterans 
Benefits Administration [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Veterans and eligible persons who discontinue a course or courses 
are not entitled to education benefits paid or payable for any portion 
of the course(s) unless they submit a description of the mitigating 
circumstances which caused the discontinuance. Similarly, veterans and 
eligible persons who receive a nonpunitive grade for a course are not 
entitled to education benefits paid or payable for any portion of the 
course unless they submit a description of the mitigating circumstances 
which caused the veteran or eligible person to receive the nonpunitive 
grade. The proposed rules would standardize the time limits for doing 
this.

Need for Correction

    As published the proposed rules contained errors that make them 
difficult to understand. They need to be corrected.
