Is it possible to receive the Hazlewood Act benefits and federal VA educational benefits concurrently?
Yes. If the student is receiving federal VA education benefits other than the Post-9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33 or any other benefits designated only for payment of tuition and fees), he/she can receive both benefits concurrently. If the student is receiving federal VA education benefits for payment of tuition and fees, he/she may receive both benefits concurrently only if the federal VA tuition and fees benefit amount does not equal or exceed the Hazlewood exemption value. If the federal VA benefits do not equal or exceed the Hazlewood exemption value, the student may receive a Hazlewood exemption that equals the difference between the total tuition and fees (including student property deposit, student services, and all other fees) and the federal VA benefits. Students must provide copies of the official written notice (award letter) from the VA indicating the student’s benefit type and amount, the inclusive dates of payment, and the remaining entitlement at the end of the award period.
