OMB Control Number: 2900-0034 <a href="https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRASearch">https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRASearch</a>.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: Both the Department of Veterans Affairs staff from
Veteran Readiness and Employment (VR&E) Division, VR&E program
participant, and trainer or authorized school official completes the VA
Form 28-1905h, Trainee Request for Leave (Chapter 31, Veteran Readiness
and Employment). VA Form 28-1905h serves as the only document for
requesting leave and for providing the information necessary to
determine whether to approve the leave request. A trainer or authorized
school official must verify on the form the effect the absence will
have on the program participant's progress in the training program. The
case manager (normally a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor) assigned
to the program participant's case overseeing the training program
approves or denies the leave request. Upon approval, the program
participant can receive subsistence allowance and other program
services during the leave period as if he or she were continuing to
attend training under Title 38 (CFR) Sec. 21.270.
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 89 FR 51596, June 18, 2024.
