Abstract
This document amends the educational-assistance and educational-benefit regulations of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). It establishes effective dates of awards of educational assistance to certain voluntarily discharged veterans who are eligible for the Montgomery GI Bill--Active Duty (MGIB). The effective dates correspond with a statutory mandate for the effective dates. The final rule also clarifies that these veterans may not receive educational assistance for training that occurs before they pay the Federal government $1,200.
