-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995,
this notice announces that the Veterans Benefits Administration,
Department of Veterans Affairs, will submit the collection of

collection should be sent by March 12, 2026.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Request for Details of Expenses.
OMB Control Number: 2900-0138 <a href="https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRASearch">https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRASearch</a>.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: The primary use of the form is to gather the necessary
information to determine eligibility for VA Pension. Without VA Form
21P-8049, VA will not be able to properly evaluate the totality of a
claimant's circumstances when considering an application for benefits.
VA will also be unable to assess the totality of the claimant's
circumstances when VA receives evidence of a significant increase in
the corpus of the claimant's estate. The collection is conducted on a
one-time basis and cannot be performed less frequently.
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 90 FR 55243, December 1, 2025.
Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 218 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 15 minutes.
Frequency of Response: One time.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 871 per year.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
Shunda Willis,
Acting, VA PRA Clearance Officer, (Alt.) Office of Information
Technology, Data Governance Analytics, Department of Veterans Affairs.
