2: Processes to approve programs of education for purposes of the educational assistance programs of the Department of Veterans Affairs
This section would amend the existing rules in section 3679(f)(5) of title 38, United States Code, which cover the disclosure form that an educational institution must give to an individual under paragraph (1) of that provision. It would update the internal cross-references within the current subparagraphs (A) and (B) of that paragraph so each still points to the correct subparagraph now that a new subparagraph (C) is being added. It would add that new subparagraph (C): if an educational institution cannot give an individual a form under paragraph (1) that contains all of the information required under subparagraph (A) of that paragraph, the institution must give the individual, along with that form, a notice that specifies which of the required information may be inaccurate or incomplete, and that includes, in place of any information that may be inaccurate or incomplete, the best estimate available as of the date of the notice. Separately, this section would require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to establish a website to serve as a central location for publishing information about the training that the Department of Veterans Affairs provides to school certifying officials, and to update that information on a regular basis.
