competing for a slot on or selected for the United States Paralympics 
and Olympics team or is residing at a United States Paralympics or 
Olympics training center. The Office of National Veterans Sports 
Programs and Special Events will use VA Forms 0918a and 0918b to 
collect information to certify eligibility for the monthly assistance 
allowance, verify the veteran's mailing address, confirm that he or she 
has been accepted by the Paralympics or Olympics to compete in a 
specific Paralympic or Olympic sport, and to determine their marital 
status and number of dependents for the purpose of assessing payment 
amounts.
