An individual who is entitled to educational assistance under 38 U.S.C. chapter 30 is also entitled to 36 months of tuition assistance top-up. This entitlement is parallel to, and does not replace, the entitlement to educational assistance available under §21.7072. If the individual receives tuition assistance top-up, VA will make a charge against both the entitlement under §21.7072 and the entitlement under this section. The charge will be as described in §21.7076(b)(10).
