Maintaining VA Benefits

VA benefits could be suspended if benefit recipients do any of the following:

  • Don't change your major without filling in a Form 1995, your eligibility will change and your classes may not be eligible for the new major.

  • Don't drop classes without notifying the IU Southeast Registrar's Office Certifying Official. IU Southeast must submit enrollment changes to VA. Dropping classes may change your eligibility and could cause VA to adjust your certification.

  • Don't get "I"; incomplete grades, without thinking thru the consequences. Any "I" that you complete in a subsequent semester will not be counted toward that semester's credit for certifying eligibility.

  • Don't get a "FN" grade, for stop attending, or a "FNN" grade for never attending, your class(es).  VA benefits will not cover class(es) when you stop attending or never attended.  The IU Southeast Registrar's office must report your last day of attendance.  Possible repercussion is requiring the recipient to pay back retroactive benefits to the last day of attendance.
