SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00160
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
With respect to the following
collection of information, VBA invites
comments on: (1) whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of VBA’s
functions, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of VBA’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information; (3) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
the use of other forms of information
technology.
Authority: 38 U.S.C. 501, 38 U.S.C.
5317, 38 CFR 3.362 and 3.343, 38 CFR
4.16.
Title: Employment Questionnaire (VA
Form 21–4140).
OMB Control Number: 2900–0079.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: VA Forms 21–4140 is used
to gather the necessary information to
determine continued entitlement to
individual unemployability. Recipients
are required to certify, when requested,
that the eligibility factors which
established entitlement to the benefit
being paid continue to exist. Individual
unemployability is awarded based on a
veteran’s inability to be gainfully
employed due to service-connected
disabilities, and entitlement may be
terminated if a veteran begins working.
Without information about recipients’
employment, VA would not be able to
determine continued entitlement to
individual unemployability, and
overpayments would result. No changes
have been made to this form. The
respondent burden has increased due to
the estimated number of receivables
averaged over the past year.
Affected Public: Individual or
Households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 285 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent: 5 minutes.
Frequency of Response: One time.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
3,422 per year.
By direction of the Secretary.

VA PRA Clearance Officer, Office of
Enterprise and Integration/Data Governance
