The Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA), Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), is seeking public feedback on a proposed information collection under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995. This involves the Certification of School Attendance—REPS (VA Form 21P-8926). The form ensures that beneficiaries of the Restored Entitlement Program for Survivors (REPS), specifically school-aged children of deceased veterans, are enrolled full-time in approved schools to maintain their benefits. The VA Office of Management and Budget (OMB) will consider comments submitted by April 19, 2021, to improve this process and minimize the burden on respondents.
Simple Explanation
The Veterans Affairs Department wants to make sure that kids who get benefits because their parent who was a veteran passed away are going to school full-time. They are asking people to check a form to see if it can be made easier to fill out, and they want feedback from anyone who has ideas on how to make it better.
