COLLEGE STUDENT AID COMMISSION[283]
Adopted and Filed
Pursuant to the authority of Iowa Code section 261.86, the Iowa College Student Aid Commission hereby amends Chapter 20, “Iowa National Guard Educational Assistance Program,” Iowa Administrative Code.
The amendment to Chapter 20 revises the maximum benefit a National Guard member may receive under the program from eight semesters of study to a maximum of 120 credit hours of study. The amendment to Chapter 20 reflects changes to Iowa Code section 261.86 that were enacted in 2015 Iowa Acts, Senate File 130, section 1.
Notice of Intended Action was published in the Iowa Administrative Bulletin on August 19, 2015, as ARC 2111C. The Commission received no public comment on the amendment. This amendment is identical to that published under Notice of Intended Action.
The Commission does not intend to grant waivers under the provisions of these rules.
After analysis and review of this rule making, the Commission finds that there is no impact on jobs.
This amendment is intended to implement Iowa Code section 261.86 as amended by 2015 Iowa Acts, Senate File 130, section 1.
This amendment will become effective on December 2, 2015.
The following amendment is adopted.
	Amend paragraph 20.1(6)“c” as follows:
	c. 	A qualified full-time student may receive benefits for no more than 8 semesters 120 credit hours of undergraduate study or the quarter or trimester equivalent. A qualified part-time student may receive benefits for no more than 16 semesters of undergraduate study or the quarter or trimester equivalent. All credit hours within a term of enrollment to which educational assistance was applied must be reported to the commission within the state-defined payment period.
