The concerned Secretary may pay a former captive for listed education or training costs. The payments cover qualifying education or training after captivity ends, within the stated time limits, and only when another law does not already authorize the payment.
(a) The concerned Secretary may pay* a former captive*, either in advance or by reimbursement, for expenses incurred while the person attends an educational or training institution. The expenses may be for subsistence, tuition, fees, supplies*, books, equipment, and other educational expenses.
(b) Except as section 2184 of this title provides otherwise, payments are available for education or training that occurs after the person's status as a captive ends and before the applicable deadline. The deadline is the end of a semester or quarter that begins before the end of the 10-year period starting when captivity ends. If the institution does not use semesters or quarters, the deadline is the earlier of the end of a course that began before that date or the end of the 16-week period after that date.
(c) This section provides payments only to the extent that another law does not already authorize them.
In order to respond to special circumstances, the Secretary concerned* may pay* (by advancement or reimbursement) a person who is a former captive* for expenses incurred, while attending an educational or training institution, for—
subsistence;
tuition;
fees;
supplies*;
books;
equipment; and
other educational expenses.
Except as provided in section 2184 of this title, payments shall be available under this section for a person who is a former captive for education or training that occurs—
after the termination of the status of that person as a captive; and
on or before—
the end of any semester or quarter (as appropriate) that begins before the end of the 10-year period beginning on the date on which the status of that person as a captive terminates; or
if the educational or training institution is not operated on a semester or quarter system, the earlier of the end of any course that began before such date or the end of the 16-week period following that date.
