    (a) Eligibility for the annuity will be established by such evidence 
as may be required by the department concerned.

in Sec. 48.504(b), the department concerned shall require proof from the 
institution at least semiannually that the child is pursuing a full-time 
course of training as prescribed. For the purpose of proving 
eligibility, a child is considered to be pursuing a full-time course of 
study or training during an interval between school periods that does 
not exceed 150 days if he has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the 
department concerned that he has a bona fide intention of commencing, 
resuming, or continuing to pursue a full-time course of study or 
training in a recognized educational institution immediately after that 
interval.
