SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For the 2017-2018 academic year, the Post-9/ 11 GI Bill allowed VA to pay the actual net cost of tuition and fees not to exceed the in-state amounts for students pursuing training at public schools: $22,805.34 for students training at private and foreign schools, $13,031.61 for students training at vocational flight schools, and $11,076.86 for students training at correspondence schools. Additionally, the entitlement charge for individuals receiving reimbursement of the costs associated with taking a licensing, certification, or national test was 1 month (rounded to the nearest whole month) for each $1,902.61 received. Sections 3313, 3315, and 3315A of title 38 U.S.C. direct VA to increase the maximum tuition and fee payments and entitlement-charge amounts each academic year (beginning on August 1st) based on the most recent percentage increase determined under 38 U.S.C. 3015(h). The percentage increase is determined under 38 U.S.C. 3015(h). The most recent percentage increase determined under 38 U.S.C. 3015(h) was 3.8 percent, which was effective on October 1, 2017. The maximum tuition and fee payments and entitlement charge amounts for training pursued under the Post-9/11 GI Bill beginning after July 31, 2018, and before August 1, 2019, are listed below. VA's calculations for the 2018-2019 academic year are based on the 3.8 percent increase.
