Abstract: VA Form 27-8832 is primarily used to collect the necessary information to determine eligibility for Personalized Career Planning and Guidance or Chapter 36 benefits. If this information is not collected, the eligibility determination for Chapter 36 benefits cannot be made. It would affect eligible transitioning Service members, Veterans, and dependents in obtaining educational and vocational counseling. Collection of the information is the only way for VA to determine eligibility for Chapter 36 benefits. Without this information, determination of entitlement would not be possible.

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 14634, March 25, 2026.

Affected Public: Individuals or Households.

Estimated Annual Burden: 2,750 hours.

Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 15 minutes.

Frequency of Response: One time.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 11,000 per year.

Authority:44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

Shunda Willis,

Alternate, VA PRA Clearance Officer, Office of Information Technology/Data Governance Analytics, Department of Veterans Affairs.
