SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority: 38 U.S.C. 5101; 38 CFR
3.812.
Title: Student Beneficiary Report—
Restored Entitlement Program for
Survivors (REPS) (VA Form 21P–8938–
1).
OMB Control Number: 2900–0399.
Type of Review: Reinstatement with
change of a previously approved
collection.
Abstract: A claimant’s eligibility for
needs-based pension programs are
determined in part by countable family
income and certain deductible
expenses. Restored Entitlement Program
for Survivors (REPS) is a benefit payable
to certain surviving spouses and
dependent children of deceased
Veterans who died in service prior to
August 13, 1981 or died as a result of
a service-connected disability incurred
or aggravated prior to August 13, 1981.
In these situations, VBA uses VA Form
21P–8938–1 Student Beneficiary
Report—Restored Entitlement Program
for Survivors (REPS), to verify
beneficiaries receiving REPS benefits
based on school-aged child status, are in
fact enrolled full-time in an approved
school and are otherwise eligible for
continue benefits under REPS. Without
this information, determination of
eligibility would not be possible.
Previously, this collection consisted of
two forms: VA Form 21P–8938 and VA
Form 21P–8938–1. Currently, the only
form used is VA Form 21P–8938–1,
therefore the burden has decreased.
