in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

An eligible person in full-time special restorative training receives a monthly allowance, which may increase for tuition and fees above a stated amount. No allowance is paid for the same period as educational assistance or for less-than-full-time training.

(a) While enrolled in and pursuing full-time special restorative training, an eligible person receives a special training allowance at a basic rate of $788 per month. If tuition and fees for a course exceed $247 per calendar month, the basic monthly allowance may increase by the excess, if the person elects to shorten the entitlement period. The period is shortened by one day for each increase equal to one-thirtieth of the full-time basic monthly allowance. (b) No special training allowance is paid for a period when an educational assistance allowance is paid, or for training pursued less than full time. (c) The Secretary determines what full-time training means based on the individual trainee’s abilities.
