Summary
Responsible Education Mitigating Options and Technical Extensions Act or the REMOTE Act This bill addresses the administration of certain Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) educational assistance benefits. First, the bill extends through June 1, 2022, certain adjustments for veterans' education benefits that were put in place due to COVID-19. The bill allows the VA to waive the requirement that an educational institution verify the enrollment of a student utilizing VA educational assistance if the VA determines the institution uses a flat rate tuition and fee structure that would make the submission of a second verification unnecessary. The bill provides an exception from the imposition of specified disciplinary actions (e.g., suspending course and program approval) in situations where an educational institution provides a commission, bonus, or other incentive payment to entities engaged in student recruiting or admission activities related to recruiting foreign students who reside in foreign countries and are ineligible for federal student assistance. Finally, the bill generally exempts educational institutions located in foreign countries from certain requirements and restrictions imposed by the VA or a state approving agency, such as requiring those institutions to maintain policies prohibiting the automatic renewal of individuals in courses and programs of education.
