Which of the following is NOT a criterion of the Student Rule?

The Student Rule is a regulation that applies to individuals who are students and are seeking housing assistance through the Housing Choice Voucher program. One of the key aspects of this rule is to determine which students are eligible for assistance based on specific criteria.

Veteran status is not one of the criteria used to assess eligibility under the Student Rule. The focus of the rule is primarily on the student’s enrollment status, marital status, and living arrangements. To qualify, a student must be enrolled in an institution of higher education, must not be married, and typically cannot live with their parents. Therefore, since veteran status does not impact a student's eligibility within the context of the Student Rule, it stands out as the correct answer to the question.

Understanding this distinction is important for HCV specialists in applying the rules correctly and ensuring that only eligible individuals receive assistance based on their student status.
