    Type of Review: Revision of an approved collection.
    Abstract: Information is needed to exempt a veteran from paying a 
funding fee. A funding fee must be paid to VA before a loan can be

i.e., Assumptions, Manufactured Housing, Refinances, and Real Estate 
purchase and construction loans. The funding fee is not required from 
veterans in receipt of compensation for service connected disability or 
veterans in receipt of compensation for service connected disability of 
veterans who, but for receipt of retirement pay, would be entitled to 
receive compensation for their service connected disability. Loans made 
to the unmarried surviving spouses of veterans (who have died in 
service or from service connected disability) are exempted from payment 
of the funding fee, regardless of whether the spouse has his/her own 
eligibility, provided that the spouse has used his/her eligibility to 
obtain a VA-guaranteed loan. For a loan to be eligible for guaranty, 
lenders must provide a copy of the Funding Fee Receipt or evidence the 
veteran is exempt from the requirement of paying the funding fee. The 
receipt is computer generated and mailed to the lender ID number 
address that was entered into an Automated Clearing House (ACH) 
service.
    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
