The Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Benefits Administration announced a proposed information collection for review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as part of the Paperwork Reduction Act. The collection will allow veterans to apply for reimbursement for preparatory courses they take to prepare for licensing or certification tests under the Post 9/11 GI Bill. Comments on the proposal are being accepted until January 8, 2025, and the form aims to ensure eligible veterans receive rightful payments for their course completion. The expected burden is minimal, with an average response time of 15 minutes and an estimated 41 respondents.
