Eligibility Verification for Entitlements Act (EVEA)

The Tennessee State Legislature recently enacted legislation entitled the Tennessee Eligibility Verification for Entitlements Act (EVEA), which became effective on October 1, 2012 (Tennessee Public Chapter No. 1061-SB No. 1325). As a result of this legislation, all state public institutions of higher education in Tennessee must verify that students who receive state public benefits are U.S. citizens or lawfully present in the United States. In order to verify eligibility for benefits such as in-state tuition or graduate assistantships, students may have to provide documentation such as a scanned copy of a driver’s license, birth certificate, visa, or permanent resident identification.
