Abstract: VA Form 21-2680 is used to determine eligibility for the

increased due to the estimated number of receivables averaged over the
past year.
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 XX FR XXX on XXXXX XX, 202X, pages XXXX
