## Abstract

This document amends the Vocational Rehabilitation and Education regulations to standardize the periods for submission of mitigating circumstances justifying a withdrawal from a course. Failure to submit mitigating circumstances within the prescribed time period could result in the creation of overpayments of educational assistance. This final rule applies to eligible persons receiving Dependents' Educational Assistance and veterans and servicemembers receiving educational assistance under the Post-Vietnam Era Veterans' Educational Assistance Program (VEAP) and the Montgomery GI Bill--Active Duty. This document also amends such regulations to remove attendance recordkeeping requirements for educational institutions that do not have attendance standards.
