A survey of the administration of the Veterans
Adainistration's (VA) Educational Assistance Programs, which was
conducted at the VA's regional office in Boston, Massachusetts,
focused upon whether veterans were taking unnecessary or
unaoproved courses at two colleges. Findings/Conclusions:
Analysis of veterans' records showed that veterans were taking
unnecessary courses at Springfield Technical Coasanity College
Rnd, to a lesser extent, at Boston State Cullege. Ii addition,
at both of these schools, veterans were found to be enrolled in
programs that had not been approved for veteran enrollment by
the State approvinq agency. Recommenlations: The director of
the VA regional office should: (1) have the compliance survey
staff make a detailrd review of veterans' records at Springfield
rechnical Community College to identify overpayments to veterans
for unnecessary courses; (2) have the compliance survey staff,
during the next regularly scheduled survey, review veterans'
records a' Boston state College to determine the extent to which
they are taking unnecessary courses; (3) collect identified
overpayments; (4) encourage school officials to inform veterans
that they are -ot eligible for assistance payments for
unne:essarily repeating courses or for courses not applicable to
their educational objectives; and (5) encourage the State
approving agency to review, as soon as possible, unapproved
programs in which veterans are now enrolled to determine if they
are of acceptable quality and if they should be approved for
veteran enrollment. (SC)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobacxnv0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
