The VA Forms 22–10287 and 22– 10288, and any associated program list or documentation are submitted by the educational or training institution to the SAA of jurisdiction for review. Currently the educational institution sends the requests for program approval to the SAAs either via email, direct mail, an SAA portal, or as directed by the SAA. The SAA makes an approval decision and notifies the institution accordingly. The SAA then sends the approval package to the VA Education Liaison Representative (ELR) of jurisdiction. Program reviews will be conducted in the near future to determine the availability of advanced automation technology for submitting the applications between educational and training institutions, SAAs and VA, which may help to reduce future burdens. The approval package includes the application/form received from the training institution, the SAA’s findings, and any additional related information that supports payment of GI Bill benefits, as well as a copy of the notification sent to the training institution. The VA Education Liaison Representative (ELR) reviews the approval package for completeness, or requests additional information, if required. After the package is deemed complete, the ELR processes the package by entering the required information into VA’s internal ‘‘Web Enabled Approval Management System (WEAMS)’’. The ELR provides the report to the training institution, which contains the final approval information. The ELR then sends a copy to the SAA of jurisdiction. Finally, the approval data entered in WEAMS by the ELR is then used by Veterans Claims Examiners to adjudicate education benefit claims. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
