TA changes may affect Air Force members Published Jan. 29, 2015 460th Space Wing Public Affairs BUCKELY AIR FORCE BASE, Colo.- -- New tuition assistance changes were made that may affect Air Force members. Beginning with courses starting on or after Jan. 5 any TA reimbursement actions will be collected as lump sum repayments. This means that members who must pay back any money to tuition assistance due to a failing grade must do so in a lump sum. Students will no longer have the option of monthly payroll deduction. Along with the lump sum requirements, beginning Jan. 31 any TA requests that are not authorized by the student's supervisor will be auto-disapproved at midnight of the term start date. It is important that students stay involved with their supervisor to ensure requests are reviewed prior to term start date to avoid being auto-disapproved. For more information, call the Buckley Education and Training Office at 720-847-6675.
