Well there goes the rest of this semester for me....
I just tried to apply for the rest of my TA since the letter states not until 1700 today. However, after calling the education center, the ENTIRE Army is on Hold status, so that no-one can apply before 1700 today.
Note to self, in the future apply for ALL TA at once and not in a per class basis.
"Fellow Soldiers,
LTG Bromberg, the Army G1 reports due to the current fiscal challenges, the Secretary of the Army has approved the suspension of Tuition Assistance (TA) effective 1700 EST Friday, 8 Mar 13. The suspension applies to all components and will remain effect until the fiscal situation matures.
Effective 1700 EST 8 Mar 13, Soldiers will no longer be permitted to submit new requests for Tuition Assistance through the GoArmyEd portal. Soldiers currently enrolled and participating in courses approved for tuition assistance are not affected and will be allowed to complete current
course(s) enrollment.
Soldiers can continue to access their GI Bill benefits, if applicable (either the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB) or the Post 9/11 GI Bill), or use another funding sources (i.e. grants, scholarships, or Army National Guard Soldiers using state Tuition Assistance). Soldiers should be encouraged to contact their local education centers for additional information. Updated information will also be posted to
www.goarmyed.com <http://www.goarmyed.com> .
The Army understands the impacts of this decision and will re-assess as the fiscal situation matures.
