Department of Veterans Affairs Delayed Payment Policy

 

This policy documents compliance with the Veterans Benefits and Transition Act of 2018, section 3679 of Title 38 of the United States Code.

 

A covered individual is any individual who is entitled to educational assistance under Chapter 31, Veteran Readiness and Employment, or Chapter 33, Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefits.

 

Massanutten Technical Center requires all covered individuals to submit a written request of certification of their enrollment each semester for which they plan to use their Chapter 31 or 33 entitlement benefits. The Certification Request for Veterans Affairs (VA) Educational Benefits must be submitted no later than the last day to drop and receive a refund for the respective semester. 

 

Any covered individual will be permitted to attend or participate in a course of education during the period beginning on the date on which the individual provides to Massanutten Technical Center a Certificate of Eligibility for entitlement to educational assistance under Chapter 31 or 33 (a "certificate of eligibility" can also include a Statement of Benefits obtained from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) website, eBenefits, or a VAF 28-1905 form for Chapter 31 authorization purposes) and ending on the earlier of the following dates:

• ​The date on which payment from VA is made to MTC.

• 90 days after the date MTC certified tuition and fees following the receipt of the certificate of eligibility.​

​

Due to the delayed disbursement of funding from the VA under Chapter 31 or 33, Massanutten Technical Center will not assess a late penalty fee, deny access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities, or require a covered individual to borrow additional funds because of the individual’s inability to meet his or her financial obligations to Massanutten Technical Center for the VA delay.

 

Massanutten Technical Center reserves the right to follow normal collection procedures for any difference between the amount of a covered individual’s financial obligation and the amount of the VA education benefit disbursement.
