SUMMARY: The purpose of this notice is to inform the public of the 
increase in the Post-9/11 GI Bill maximum tuition and fee amounts 
payable and the increase in the amount used to determine an 
individual's entitlement charge for reimbursement of a licensing, 
certification, or national test for the 2022-2023 Academic Year (AY), 
effective August 1, 2022, through July 31, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For the 2022-2023 AY, the Post-9/11 GI Bill 
allows the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to pay the actual net 
cost of tuition and fees not to exceed the in-state amounts for 
students pursuing training at public schools; $26,381.37 for students 
training at private and foreign schools; $26,381.37 for students 
training at non-degree granting schools; $15,075.05 for students 
training at vocational flight schools; and $12,813.78 for students 
training at correspondence schools. In addition, the entitlement charge 
for individuals receiving reimbursement of the costs associated with 
taking a licensing, certification, or national test is pro-rated based 
on the actual amount of the fee charged for the test relative to the 
rate of $2,200.96 for one month. The maximum reimbursable amount for 
licensing and certification tests is $2,000. There is no maximum 
reimbursable amount for national tests.
    Sections 3313, 3315 and 3315A of title 38, U.S.C., direct VA to 
increase the maximum tuition and fee payments and entitlement-charge 
amounts each AY (beginning on August 1st) based on the most recent 
percentage increase determined under 38 U.S.C. 3015(h). The most recent 
percentage increase determined under 38 U.S.C. 3015(h) is 1.3%, which 
was effective on October 1, 2021.
    The maximum tuition and fee payments and entitlement charge amounts 
for training pursued under the Post-9/11 GI Bill beginning after July 
31, 2022, and before August 1, 2023, are listed below. VA's 
calculations for the 2022-2023 AY are based on the 1.3% increase.
