Veterans Benefits

NOTE: A Covered Individual is any individual who is entitled to educational assistance under chapter 31, Veteran Readiness and Employment (VR&E), or chapter 33, Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefits.
(GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.)

Richmont permits any covered individual to attend or participate in the course of education during the period beginning on the date on which the individual provides to Richmont a certificate of eligibility for entitlement to educational assistance under chapter 31 or 33 (a “certificate of eligibility” can also include a “Statement of Benefits” obtained from the Departments of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) website – eBenefits, or a VAF 28-1905 form for chapter 31 authorization purposes) and ending on the earlier of the following dates:

The date on which payment from VA is made to Richmont.
90 days after the date Richmont certified tuition and fees following the receipt of the certificate of eligibility.

Richmont will not impose any penalty, including the assessment of late fees, the denial of access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities, or the requirement that a covered individual borrow additional funds, on any covered individual because of the individual’s inability to meet his or her financial obligations to Richmont due to the delayed disbursement funding from VA under chapter 31 or 33.
