    With respect to the following collection of information, VBA 
invites comments on: (1) Whether the proposed collection of information

whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy 
of VBA's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of 
information; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of 
the collection of information on respondents, including through the use

    Title: Verification of VA Benefits (VA Form 26-8937).
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0406.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: VA has instructed lenders that they may not close any 
proposed loan until they have evidence from VA that there is no debt, 
or if a debt exists, an acceptable repayment plan has been agreed to by 
the veteran, or payments under a plan already in effect are current. VA 
Form 26-8937 is designed to assist lenders and VA in the completion of 
debt checks in a uniform manner. The form restricts information 
requested to only that needed for the debt check and also eliminates 
unlimited versions of lender-designed forms.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 10,000 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 5 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: One-time.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 120,000.

    By direction of the Secretary.

Program Analyst, VA Privacy Service, Office of Privacy and Records 
Management, Department of Veterans Affairs.
