Abstract: As part of the benefits authorization process, § 21.4201 places restrictions on enrollment based on the percentage of students receiving financial support in any approved program. VA requires approved schools with beneficiaries receiving VA Education benefits to report the ratio of these students by enrolled program relative to the total student population enrolled in each of those programs. These reports (VA Forms 22-10215 and 10215a) are required quarterly or within 30 days of each standard term, semester or quarter.
