Students receiving Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition and fees education benefits

On January 5, 2021, the President of the United States signed the Johnny Isakson and David P. Roe, M.D. Veterans Health Care and Benefits Improvement Act of 2020 into law (Public Law 116-315) prescribing schools and training providers, instead of the student, to be financially responsible for benefits paid directly to an educational institution. 

What does this mean for students receiving Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition and fees education benefits?

It means that all students receiving Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition and fees education benefits are reminded that under the Isakson Roe Improvement Act of 2020, overpayments for dropped courses (reduced or terminated enrollment after the start of the semester) will no longer be collected by the Veterans Administration. Instead, funds will be returned to the VA by Texas A&M University, and you may see a balance due on your student account.

For additional information, questions, or concerns about your benefits if you drop a course, please visit the Veteran Services Office website.

If you need to make payment arrangements with the university, please don't hesitate to contact us via the Aggie One Stop website.
