The Board denied the Veteran's claim for VET TEC educational benefits because his eligibility to receive Chapter 1606 (MGIB-SR) benefits was terminated on December 13, 2022, and he did not have any remaining VA educational benefits.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's eligibility for Chapter 1606 educational assistance benefits expired upon his separation from the Selected Reserve in December 2022, and he had no remaining entitlement in any other VA educational program on that date.
