Supplementary Statement for Nonsubstantive Change

SUPPLEMENTARY STATEMENT FOR

YELLOW RIBBON AGREEMENT

VA FORM 22-0839

(2900-0718)

VA is requesting a non-substantive revision to VA Form 22-0839, Yellow Ribbon Agreement.

The Yellow Ribbon Programs agreement allows Institutions of Higher Learning (IHLs) to voluntarily enter into an agreement with VA to provide contributions towards the outstanding amount of tuition and fees not otherwise covered under the Post-9/11 GI Bill. IHLs wishing to participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program are required to submit the Yellow Ribbon Agreement (VA From 22-0839).

VA is amending this form to indicate that the terms of the agreement will remain valid until VA or the institution requests changes or withdrawal. Changes were made to add a section to permit the selection of a new open-ended agreement, a modification to existing agreement, or a withdrawal of Yellow Ribbon Agreement. Additionally, the instruction page of this form is revised to reflect the changes.

Upon implementation of the revised form, IHLs will submit the form on an as needed basis for modification and withdrawal requests.
