3015(h). Increases determined under 38 U.S.C. 3015(h) are effective
October 1 of each calendar year. As such, the increase determined under
38 U.S.C. 3015(h), which was effective October 1 of the previous
calendar year, will be the most recent increase in rates at the
beginning of each academic year.
