Texas-based ELPSS Career Institute LLC and its director have been ordered to pay $9 million for violating the Post-9/11 GI Bill and False Claims Act.  Under the Post-9/11 GI Bill, the school was required to operate for at least two years before enrolling students receiving benefits.  ELPSS, however, did so less than a year after applying for approval, falsely certified to its compliance with all requirements, and as a result, received more than $2.3 million in reimbursements it was not entitled to.  USAO WDTX
