SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Request for Certificate of Veteran Status, VA form 26-8261a.
OMB Control Number: 2900-0745.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: VA Form 26-8261a is used by VA to determine an
applicant's eligibility for a possible reduced down payment when
obtaining a loan insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA),
under the provisions of Section 203(b)(2) or 220(d)(a) of the National
Housing Act as amended. FHA actually provides the benefit. However, VA
is charged with determining if the veteran-applicant meets the basic
eligibility requirements regarding length and character of service. If
eligibility is established, VA issues the applicant a Certificate of
Veterans Status that is then used when the borrower obtains an FHA
insured loan. This certificate gives the borrower the possibility of a
reduced down payment on an FHA backed loan.
