A veteran filed an SVB application in the U.S. on April 21, 2000. All SVB qualifications
are met and a Title VIII Notice of Qualification is sent on May 26, 2000. The qualification
notice advises the individual that residence outside the U.S. must begin before October
1, 2000, or SVB will be denied. On July 5, 2000, the individual requests to withdraw
the SVB claim. The withdrawal request is approved and the individual was notified
on July 25, 2000. On August 22, 2000 the individual asks to cancel the earlier withdrawal
and requests that the original SVB application filed on April 21, 2000 be reinstated.
The cancellation was approved on September 15, 2000. Foreign residency needs to be
established by the latter of the following two dates in order for the individual to
be entitled to SVB:
-
•
September 30, 2000 (the ending date of the 4-month calendar period provided in the
original Title VIII Notification of Qualification); or
-
•
October 31, 2000 (the end of the calendar month following the month of notice of the
approved cancellation).
