This bill aims to make the process of approving education programs for veterans clearer and more transparent. It ensures that veterans receive accurate information about their educational options and the training provided to school officials.
Veterans Education Transparency and Training Act or the VETT Act This bill modifies the approval process for certain courses of education for purposes of Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) educational assistance benefits. Under current law, educational institutions must provide a personalized form to an individual with certain information (e. g., cost, financial aid, and graduation and job placement rates) prior to enrollment in a course, otherwise such institutions may be subject to certain disciplinary action from the VA or state approving agency. The bill provides that if an educational institution cannot provide the required personalized form to an individual prior to enrollment, the institution must provide notice that specifies which information in the form may be inaccurate or incomplete and the best estimate available for such information. The bill requires the VA to establish and regularly update a website to serve as a central location for information about training for school certifying officials regarding VA educational benefits.
