Committment to pay all outstanding tuition fees for 2019

28 October 2019

The DMV notes that there are outstanding school and tuition fees commitment to some continuing education benefit support beneficiaries and is working hard to speedily address these.

The Department is apologising for the delayed processing of your beneficiary’s school/ tuition fees. The Department of Military Veterans (DMV) currently supports 7466 learners and students.

The DMV is working on the challenges to fast track payments and is committed to pay all the outstanding 2019 school and tuition fees for all the continuing learners and students, as per its commitment letters and signed agreements.

The Department would like to draw attention to the following factors that impede faster payments of fees:

By law the DMV shall not pay any school that is not tax compliant unless proof of exemption is provided by South African Revenue Services (SARS).
Urge that all schools should deal with the DMV with respect to school fees owing as per commitment letters issued not the parents. Details included in the commitment letters.
Schools are also requested to complete learner confirmation requests that are sent to schools in order for the DMV to accelerate payments.
The invoices that do not have banking details, a school stamp and relevant signatures, will not be able to finalise and payments made and institution are urged to urgently address this matter.

The Department wishes to remind military veterans and beneficiaries that in 2018 a decision was taken to reduce the threshold of basic education support from R42 500 to R20 000 with a view to ensure that as many MV’s beneficiaries are provided with educations support amidst the shortage of funds. Continuing beneficiaries were given the year to adjust to the reduced threshold which then was only effected during 2019.

Please remember the closing date for the extended continuing application is 31 October 2019.

The application forms are still available on the DMV website: www.dmv.gov.za and conditions stipulated still stand.
