Title: Verification of VA Benefits, VA
Form 26–8937.
OMB Control Number: 2900–0406.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: Lenders authorized to make
VA-guaranteed home or manufactured
loans on an automatic basis are required
to determine through VA whether any
benefits related debts exist in the
veteran-borrower’s name prior to the
closing of any automatic loan. Lenders
cannot close any proposed automatic
loan until evidence is received from VA
stating that there is no debt, or if a debt
exists, or the veteran has agreed on an
acceptable repayment plan, or payments
under a plan already in effect are
current. VA Form 26–8937 is used to
assist lenders and VA in the completion
of debt checks in a uniform manner. The
form restricts information requested to
only that is needed for the debt check
and to eliminate unlimited versions of
lender-designed forms. The form also
informs the lender whether or not the
veteran is exempt from paying the
funding fee, which must be collected on
all VA home loans unless the veteran is
receiving service-connected disability
compensation.
Affected Public: Individuals of
households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 10,000
hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent: 5 minutes.
Frequency of Response: One-time.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
120,000.
Dated: October 15, 2012.
