Title: Amendments to 85/15 Rule Calculations, Waiver Criteria, and Reports
Abstract: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is proposing to amend existing regulations to eliminate the four 85/15 rule calculation exemptions for students in receipt of certain types of institutional aid. Currently, VA regulations provide exceptions that allow certain categories of students to be considered nonsupported for purposes of the 85/15 rule notwithstanding their receipt of institutional aid. This proposal will eliminate these exceptions, thus clarifying the types of scholarships that educational institutions must include in their calculations of supported students. Also, VA is proposing to revise the criteria considered by the Director of Education Service when granting an 85/15 rule compliance waiver. Lastly, VA is proposing to amend the timeline for certain educational institutions’ submission of 85/15 compliance reports.
