SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501-21.
Title: Verification of VA Benefits, 26-8937.
OMB Control Number: 2900-0406.
Type of Review: Revision to currently approved collection.
Abstract: VA Form 26-8937 is designed to assist lenders and VA in
the completion of debt checks in a uniform manner. The form restricts
information
[[Page 29784]]
requested to only that needed for the debt check and also eliminates
unlimited versions of lender-designed forms. This form is also
occasionally used to inform the lender prior to loan closing if a
Veteran is eligible for an exemption from the funding fee.
Lenders ensure the completion of the upper portion of VA Form 26-
8937, including the veteran's authorization for release of the
information, and forward it to the appropriate VA Office. VA personnel
perform the debt check, complete the balance of the form, and return it
to the lender, who considers any repayment terms in evaluating the
veteran's creditworthiness. Following the closing of any loan, the
lender submits the form with the loan report and related documents for
post closing review. The form is reviewed by a loan examiner to ensure
that debt check requirements have been observed in each case.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. The Federal Register Notice with a
60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of
information was published at insert citation date: 87 FR 14100 on March
11, 2022, pages 14100 and 14101.
Affected Public: Individuals and households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 440 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 5 minutes.
Frequency of Response: One-time.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 5,500.
By direction of the Secretary.
