SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: VA Form 28-10281, Request for Restoration of Entitlement Due
to Facility Closure, Program of Training or Course Disapproval (Chapter
31 Veteran Readiness and Employment).
OMB Control Number: 2900-0923 <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: VA Form 28-10281 is used by a Service member or Veteran
to request restoration of entitlement due to effects of a facility
closure or program of training or course disapproval. The VR&E program
subsequently uses the information on this form to determine if a
Service member or Veteran qualifies for restoration of entitlement
under 38 U.S.C 3699 (b)(1)(A). Without the information, restoration of
entitlement under Chapter 31 could not be determined. Veterans and
Service members are able to access and complete the VA Form 28-10281 by
using the VA Forms external website ``Find a Form'' and submit the
completed and signed form one of the following ways: by mail, email to
their assigned Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor (VRC), in-person to
a VA Regional Office, or VR&E out-based location. The Veteran or
Service member receives a notification letter if their request for
restoration of entitlement is granted or denied by their assigned VRC.
Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 24,105 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 10 minutes.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 144,630.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
