University closes, will VA education benefits stop

If a university closes due to coronavirus in mid term and a student is getting Chapter 35 payments,  will the VA stop paying them their education benefits?  We have a national emergency and many rules change when that happens.  Does anyone know what the VA plans to do?

Well, the university decided to reopen with all classroom classes moved  to online classes and if a class can not be taught online then it will be dropped. They also have waived the additional online fee.  We had already registered for all online classes and now they are telling us that we must pay the fee. 

I guess what we could do is sign up for classroom classes that are free of fees  and drop the online classes.  But now, we were thinking that these new classes that were changed from classroom to online might be a poor idea because they could have a lot of problems.

I wrote an email to the Vice President of Student Services and basically said that all students should be exempt from online fees.   I did notice that many classes are only taught online that is why the university is saying that we need to pay. 

The term was shortened to 10 weeks, instead of 11.

My wife and son are receiving chapter 35 benefits and we are not sure how the VA is going to handle all these changes.
