Review of Military Tuition Assistance (TA) Program

Abstract

The South Carolina Office of the Inspector General (SIG) conducted an independent review of the Technical College of the Lowcountry’s (TCLC) TA program beginning in October 2018, based upon a credible complaint alleging that numerous military student accounts had been sent to third party collection agencies due to a failure to process and transmit TA invoice paperwork to the United States Department of Defense (DOD). The scope of this review focused on TCLC’s procedures and compliance with the DOD TA program, identifying any unresolved TA vouchers and accounts, and identifying actions taken by TCLC to resolve any erroneous TA collection accounts.
