Allows absences due to military service, maternity/paternity, FMLA, or compensable injury to count as creditable time for student financial aid.
This bill amends the education law to allow absences due to uniformed service, maternity/paternity, FMLA, or compensable injury to be considered creditable time for student financial aid programs. The service completion date will be extended by the total time spent in non-pay status, but these absences will be counted within the sole discretion of the president. This change applies to all loan forgiveness programs referenced in the education law.
