Master's Degree Subsistence For Full Time?

Rate this question

Question

Hello,

I had no luck scanning the info in this section for "how full time subsistence" is determined for a Graduate Degree. Six units at my school is considered full time, and I'm getting 3/4 subsistence. I could use the extra few dollars, as my claim is in the R.O. black hole.

Can anyone point me directly to the Voc-Rehab Manual the Counselors use? I'd like to point directly to the "authoritative literature" when I email my counselor.

On a side note. I find every agency, person, and department I deal with to be very accommodating when I can "cite the legal authority". It's very powerful, since they can't argue with laws passed by Congress.

Happy Memorial Day, and most importantly, I salute those who sacraficed all.

It all depends on the College your going to. I know for example if you are taking 2 classes @ 3 credits each then it is full time. You need a total of 6 credits to be full time. But again it depends on the college because some colleges have what is called FastTrack program where they cut the terms shorter to 5 weeks. My college terms are 8 weeks where others are 12 week terms.
