Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: VA Form 28-1905m, Request and Authorization for Supplies
and Direct Reimbursement (Chapter 31-Veteran Readiness and Employment)
serves as a request supplies or equipment or apply for direct
reimbursement for purchases of supplies and equipment as part of a
rehabilitation program under 38 U.S.C. chapter 31. The training
facility the Veteran attends, or the employer for whom the Veteran
works, may also need to complete the form when the facility or employer
requires specific types of supplies or equipment. Veterans may access
the VAF 28-1905m from <a href="http://VA.gov">VA.gov</a> or requesting the form from their assigned
Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor (VRC). Veterans may return the
completed VAF 28-1905m through centralized mail, via VR&E's Electronic
Virtual Assistant (e-VA), in-person, or emailing the form to their
assigned VRC. There are no other invitations or other communications
sent to the respondent associated with the information collection. The
VR&E staff subsequently uses the information on this form to approve
the purchase of appropriate supplies and equipment or direct
reimbursement for purchases of supplies and equipment for Veterans as
part of a rehabilitation program. VAF 28-1905m allows Veterans in the
VR&E program to receive supplies and equipment or be directly
reimbursed for purchases of supplies and equipment that are necessary
for the successful completion of their rehabilitation program.
