SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority: Example: 44 U.S.C. 3501-21.
Title: Request for Determination of Loan Guaranty Eligibility--
Unmarried Surviving Spouses.
OMB Control Number: 2900-0055.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: VA Form 26-1817 is used by VA to determine an unmarried
surviving spouse's eligibility for Loan Guaranty benefits, and the
amount of entitlement available. Each completed form is normally
accompanied by proof of the deceased Veteran's military service and is
submitted by the applicant to the appropriate VA office. If eligible,
VA will issue the applicant a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) to be
used in applying for Loan Guaranty benefits.
This form is also used in restoration of entitlement cases.
Generally, if an applicant has used all or part of their entitlement,
it may be restored if (1) the property has been sold and the loan has
been paid in full or (2) a qualified Veteran-transferee agrees to
assume the balance on the loan and agrees to substitute their
entitlement for the same amount of entitlement originally used by the
applicant to get the loan. The buyer must also meet the occupancy and
income and credit requirements of the law. Restoration is not
automatic; an applicant must apply for it by completing VA Form 26-
1817.
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 87 FR 34761 on June 7, 2022, pages 34761.
Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 4,250.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 15 minutes.
Frequency of Response: One time.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 8,500.
By direction of the Secretary.
