Abstract: VA Form 21P-8938-1 is primarily used to verify that a
surviving child who is receiving REPS benefits based on school-child
status is in fact enrolled full-time in an approved school and is
otherwise eligible for continued benefits. VA Form 21P-8938-1 is
generated by VA's central computer system each March and sent to all
student beneficiaries. If the completed form is not received by the end
of May, the beneficiary is sent a system-generated due process letter
with another VA Form 21P-8938-1. No changes have been made to this
form. The respondent burden has remained the same.
Affected Public: Individuals and households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 300 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 20 minutes.
Frequency of Response: One time.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,200.
By direction of the Secretary.
Maribel Aponte,
VA PRA Clearance Officer, Office of Enterprise and Integration/Data
Governance Analytics, Department of Veterans Affairs.
