Abstract: The VA Form 28-1902w, Information for Veteran Readiness
and Employment Entitlement Determination is used by the Vocational
Rehabilitation Counselor (VRC) with the Veteran during the
comprehensive initial evaluation after the VA receives an application
for Veteran or Service member Readiness and Employment benefits and has
determined the Veteran is eligible to apply for Chapter 31 under Title
38 U.S.C. 3104(a) and 38 CFR 21.50. Use of the VA Form 28-1902w will
allow the VA counselor to use the form to collect the information
during the initial evaluation. The information is unique to each
Veteran and must be collected to assist with making an entitlement
determination during the initial evaluation or the counselor would not
have enough information to properly evaluate the Veteran's
circumstances. The information is collected only once. Information for
Veteran Readiness and Employment Entitlement Determination takes
approximately 45 minutes to complete.
Affected Public: Individuals and households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 48,097 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 45 minutes.
Frequency of Response: Once.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 64,129.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
