Veterans Education: Increase in Rates Payable for Cooperative Training Under the Montgomery GI BillActive Duty

This document amends the educational assistance and educational benefits regulations of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The Veterans' Benefits Act of 1997 provided a new statutory formula for use in calculating the monthly rates of educational assistance payable under the Montgomery GI Bill--Active Duty to someone pursuing cooperative training. The new formula increases the monthly rates of educational assistance, effective from October 9, 1996, for veterans in cooperative training who were formerly eligible for assistance under the Veteran Era GI Bill. This final document amends the regulations to reflect the increased rates.
