§8525 — Title 5 Government Organization and Employees | U.S. Code

Summary

People who meet four conditions are not covered by the rule that would otherwise stop payment when someone gets certain education benefits. Those four things are: they already qualify for pay under this part; they are in a specific group named in a related veterans statute; they are not getting military retired pay; and they left the service honorably (including because of a reduction in force) but did not quit. A person cannot get pay under this part for any time when they are getting certain VA allowances. That includes a subsistence allowance under vocational rehabilitation or the named veterans rule, or education payments under two different VA education programs. The rule that blocks one of those education payments does not apply to the people described above.
