Summary
The bill requires the Secretary of Defense to issue regulations providing reimbursement for educational expenses to students who are medically ineligible for continued participation in the Senior Reserve Officers' Training Corps. Students who participate in a ROTC unit while awaiting a decision on their eligibility for ROTC financial assistance would be eligible for reimbursement if they are later determined to be medically ineligible. Reimbursable expenses would include tuition, fees, laboratory expenses, and room and board. The regulations must also establish a process for students to submit reimbursement claims, with qualified claims to be processed within 90 days of submission.
