§ 12090 Veteran Education Funding Agreements

This law lets the State Department of Education make deals with the Veterans Administration or other federal agencies so veterans can study at public schools (but not at California State University), and the schools get paid the highest amount the federal law allows.

Key Takeaways

  • •The State Department of Education can sign agreements with the VA or other federal agencies for veteran education.
  • •Any public school can be used except California State University.
  • •Schools are paid the highest amount that federal law permits for those agreements.

Example

A veteran wants to take classes at a community college. The State Department of Education signs a contract with the VA, and the college receives the maximum payment allowed by federal rules for the veteran's tuition.

Because of this law, the state can set up the agreement and the college gets paid the full amount the federal program says it can pay.
