    The Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) of the Department of Veterans Affairs issued a withdrawal notice concerning a previously published document that invited public comments on a proposed claim form for Disability Insurance Benefits related to Government Life Insurance. The original notice, published in the Federal Register on January 7, 2025, was a mistake and is now officially withdrawn. For more information, you can contact Maribel Aponte at 202-461-8900 or via email at vacopaperworkreduact@va.gov.

    Simple Explanation

    The government accidentally told people they needed to use a special form to get insurance money, but it was a mistake, so they're taking that notice back. They also gave the wrong email for questions, which could cause confusion.

    The Veterans Benefits Administration, part of the Department of Veterans Affairs, plans to send a form to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review. This form, known as VA Form 29-0975, allows a third party to help veterans and their beneficiaries manage their affairs, especially useful for those who are older or have disabilities. The form's review is required under the Paperwork Reduction Act, and the public has 30 days to comment on the proposal. It's estimated that filling out the form will take about 5 minutes per person, with around 1,200 individuals expected to respond annually.

    Simple Explanation

    The Veterans group made a paper that lets someone else help old or sick Veterans with their papers, but first, the paper is sent to another office to make sure it’s okay. People have 30 days to say if they like this idea or not, and it only takes a short time to fill out for about 1,200 people every year.
