Good afternoon,
The Department of Veterans Affairs’ five-year pilot program, Veteran Employment Through Technology Education Courses (VET TEC), is coming to an end. This innovative program provided $45 million annually to pair Veterans with high-technology programs and featured performance targets and oversight of providers based on the agreements entered with VA.
With the program ending, no new VET TEC enrollments can be submitted or paid.
What does this mean for you?
No action is needed on your part to continue receiving VET TEC funds. Since you are currently enrolled in a VET TEC program, your training will continue uninterrupted. This includes monthly housing allowance and tuition and fees payments, for terms which continue through September 30, 2024. Your payments will not be affected, even if your formal term ends after April 1, 2024.
What is the future of the VET TEC program?
VA is working to make VET TEC a permanent program; however, no legislation has been passed which would affect the program. We encourage you to check the Veterans Technology Education Courses website periodically for changes or updates regarding the future of VET TEC
For other questions about your GI Bill® education benefits, please call the Education Call Center at 1-888-442-4551.
Respectfully,
Education Service
