SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Readjustment Counseling Services Eligibility Determinations.
OMB Control Number: 2900-NEW. <a href="https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRASearch">https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRASearch</a>
Type of Review: New collection.
Abstract: Authorization for this information collection is found at
38 U.S.C. 1712A, which requires VA to provide readjustment counseling,
through Vet Centers, to certain individuals. The criteria for
eligibility are further set forth in 38 U.S.C. 1712A(a)(1)(C). The
eligibility criteria in 38 U.S.C. 1712A(a)(1)(C) dictate the type of
documentation that must be presented by an individual to establish
eligibility for readjustment counseling. In order for VA to determine
whether individuals seeking readjustment counseling are eligible for
such services, individuals must provide VA with certain documentation.
In many cases, eligibility determinations may be based upon
existing information in VA databases, and the individual does not need
to provide any additional documentation to VA. In other cases, the Vet
Center staff must collect documentation from individuals who are
seeking readjustment counseling during the intake process. This
information collection quantifies only the estimated annual number of
Veterans who are asked to provide proof of eligibility documentation to
VA. Vet Center staff will review the provided documentation to
determine whether the individual is eligible for readjustment
counseling services pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 1712A(a)(1)(C).
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 91 FR 9335, February 25, 2026.
Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 8,836 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 30 minutes.
Frequency of Response: One time.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 17,672.
(Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.)
