Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: The VA uses data from the VA Form 22-10215 and VA Form
22-10215a for this information collection to ensure the compliance of
IHLs and NCD training institutions that are approved by the VA to
ensure that no more than 85% of students in any approved program are
students in receipt of financial support from the educational
institution or by VA under title 38, U.S.C., or under title 10, U.S.C.
Without this information, VA might pay benefits in error. Except as
otherwise provided by regulation, VA shall not approve an enrollment in
any course for an eligible Veteran, not already enrolled, for any
period during which more than 85 percent of the students enrolled in
the course are having all or part of their tuition, fees or other
charges paid for them by the educational institution or by VA under
title 38, U.S.C., or under title 10, U.S.C. This is known as the 85/15
Rule and is applicable to Institutions of Higher Learning (IHLs) and
Non-College Degree postsecondary schools (NCDs). The requirements apply
to all courses, not otherwise exempt, or waived, offered by all
educational institutions, regardless of whether the institution is
degree-granting, proprietary profit, proprietary nonprofit,
eleemosynary, public and/or tax-supported. These schools are required
to submit information necessary to determine if their programs of
training are approved for the payment of VA educational assistance.
This specified information is submitted either to VA or to the State
Approving Agency (SAA) having jurisdiction over that school.
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 77583, September 23, 2024.
Affected Public: Educational Institutions.
Estimated Annual Burden: 1,814 hours.
Estimated Average Burden Per Respondent: 60 minutes.

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
