# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

*Title:*                     Statement of Purchaser or Owner Assuming Seller's Loans, VA Form 26-6382.

*Type of Review:*                     Extension of a currently approved collection.                 

*Abstract:*                     VA Form 26-6382 is completed by purchasers who are assuming veterans' guaranteed, insured, and direct home loans. The information collected is essential to make a determination for release of liability as well as for credit underwriting determinations for substitution of entitlement. If a veteran chooses to sell his or her VA guaranteed home, VA will allow a qualified purchaser to assume the veteran's loan and all the responsibility under the guaranty or insurance. In regard to substitution of entitlement cases, eligible veteran purchasers must meet all requirements of liability in addition to having available loan guaranty entitlement.
