§3019 — Title 38 Veterans' Benefits | U.S. Code

Summary

If you get an educational assistance allowance under this chapter, you can also get the same tutorial benefits that an eligible veteran gets under section 3492, following the same rules. Tutorial help can pay up to $100 per month, for as many as 12 months, and no more than $1,200 total. This money is added on top of your regular educational allowance. Only tutorial payments over $600 count against your total educational assistance time. For each amount of tutorial pay above $600 that equals your normal monthly full‑time educational allowance, one month of your entitlement is used.
