Nearly 14,000 veterans used REAP funds to attend college classes in fiscal 2014, at a cost of $56 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the program is considered redundant now in light of the Post-9\/11 GI Bill, which offers education benefits to most troops who spent any time on active duty after September 2001.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">REAP represented a little more than 1 percent of VA education payouts in fiscal 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Individuals who are enrolled and attending classes through the now-defunct program are eligible to continue receiving benefits until Nov. 25, 2019. Officials anticipate that should cover nearly all participants currently working on degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Students who received REAP money in the past but were not in classes last semester will see their benefits cut off. VA officials said most of those individuals will be able to use Post-9\/11 GI Bill funds instead, but are reaching out to affected students to gauge the potential impact of the changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;VA is actively working to identify affected veterans who have previously applied for VA benefits to notify them of this change and their potential eligibility for other VA educational assistance programs,&#8221; officials said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They added that would-be new enrollees also can contact\u00a0VA offices to see if they qualify for other education programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional information on the program change is available on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.benefits.va.gov\/gibill\/reap.asp\"><u>VA\u2019s website<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>But students already in the Reserve Educational Assistance Program will see no disruption.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":101058,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3226,1817],"class_list":["post-59569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-education-transition"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"IVBDLJBGC5DTDGDLEGAEA7NPMI","arc_canonical_url":"\/education-transition\/education\/2015\/12\/30\/change-in-law-ends-reserve-tuition-program\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) -
