Subsection
(c)of section 3699 of title 38, United States Code, is amended to read as follows: The period for which, by reason of this subsection, educational assistance is not charged against entitlement or counted toward the applicable aggregate period under section 3695 of this title shall not exceed the aggregate of— the portion of the period of enrollment in the course from which the individual did not receive credit or with respect to which the individual lost training time, as determined under subsection (b)(2); and the period by which a monthly stipend is extended under section 3680(a)(2)(B) of this title. An individual described in paragraph
(2)who transfers fewer than 12 credits from a program of education that is disapproved as described in subsection (b)(1)(B) shall be deemed to be an individual who did not receive such credits, as described in subsection (b)(2), except that the period for which such individual's entitlement is not charged shall be the entire period of the individual's enrollment in the program of education. In carrying out this subparagraph, the Secretary, in consultation with the Secretary of Education, shall establish procedures to determine whether the individual transferred credits to a comparable course or program of education. An individual described in this paragraph is an individual who is enrolled in a course or program of education discontinued as described in subsection (b)(1)(B) during the period beginning on the date that is 120 days before the date of such discontinuance and ending on the date of such discontinuance. . The amendment made by subsection
(a)shall take effect on the date that is 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act.
