Any covered individual will be able to attend or participate in the course of education during the period beginning on the date on which the individual provides to the educational institution a certificate of eligibility for entitlement to educational assistance under chapter 31 or 33 (a “certificate of eligibility” can also include a “Statement of Benefits” obtained from the Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) website – eBenefits, or a VAF 28-1905 form for chapter 31 authorization purposes) and ending on the earlier of the following dates:

1. The date on which payment from VA is made to the institution.
2. 90 days after the date the institution certified tuition and fees following the receipt of the certificate of eligibility.

North American Lineman Training Center will not impose any penalty, including the assessment of late fees, the denial of access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities, or the requirement that a covered individual borrow additional funds, on any covered individual because of the individual’s inability to meet his or her financial obligations to the institution due to the delayed disbursement funding from VA underchapter 31 or 33.

Veterans using their benefits must also self-certify monthly.

Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA)/(TAA) Trade Act Assistance

The WIOA program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor and grants funding to eligible applicants for Training Services.

To apply for this funding, contact the closest career center. You can find a thorough listing of these centers by logging on to https://www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/ wioa/

If an applicant is determined eligible, tuition, books, and/or equipment may be funded for you. Please contact our office if you need further assistance.

Another source of funding for those individuals who are now unemployed due to plant closures, is TAA or the Trade Act Assistance Program.
