The Buckley Amendment (Public Law 93-80) requires that institutions receiving Federal funds administered by the Department of Education must obtain the student's consent to release information from school records. However, one exception to the law is that information sought in connection with a student's Application for receipt of financial aid is exempt. It has been determined that school records relating to VA benefits fall into the "financial aid" category and are therefore exempt from the Buckley amendment provisions. Therefore, the VA (and SAA) shall have access to the records of VA beneficiaries and non-VA students without the student's written consent to monitor the training establishment's compliance.
