Title: Reimbursement of Qualifying Adoption Expenses for Certain Veterans, VA Form 10–10152. OMB Control Number: 2900–0860. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Abstract: The VA’s authority to provide reimbursement of qualifying adoption expenses for certain covered Veterans is found in Section 236 of the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2018, Public Law 115–141 (March 23, 2018) (the ‘‘2018 Act’’) and Section 235 of the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2019, Public Law 115–244 (September 21, 2018) (the ‘‘2019 Act’’), which renewed and extended in nearly identical form Section 260 of the prior authorizing ‘‘2017 Act,’’ Public Law 114–223. VA has eliminated the section in the regulations that specifies an expiration date in order to accommodate Congressional renewal and extension of this authority under subsequent appropriations law. Veterans with a service-connected disability that results in their inability to procreate without the use of fertility treatments are authorized to receive reimbursement for certain adoptionrelated expenses for an adoption that is finalized after September 29, 2016 (the date the 2017 Act was enacted).
