# §21.3307. “Discontinued” status.

- (a) **Placement in “discontinued” status.** If reentrance from interrupted status into a program of special restorative training is not approved under the provisions of [§ 21.3306](/cfr/38/21.3306.md), a counseling psychologist or vocational rehabilitation counselor will place the case in discontinued status.
- (b) **Notification.** In any case of discontinuance the Department of Veterans Affairs will:
  - (1) Notify the eligible person of the action taken, except that if the eligible person has a guardian or has not attained majority under laws applicable in his or her State of residence, VA will notify his or her parent or guardian (see [§ 21.3021(d)](/cfr/38/21.3021.md?p=d)) of the action taken.
  - (2) Inform the eligible person of his or her potential right to a program of education, except that if the eligible person has a guardian or has not attained majority under laws applicable in his or her State of residence, VA will inform his or her parent or guardian (see [§ 21.3021(d)](/cfr/38/21.3021.md?p=d)) of the eligible person's potential right to a program of education.
- (c) **Effect of discontinuance.** An eligible person who has been placed in discontinued status is precluded from any further pursuit of special restorative training until a Department of Veterans Affairs counseling psychologist or vocational rehabilitation counselor in the Veteran Readiness and Employment (VR&E) Division determines that the cause of the discontinuance has been removed.
