SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Statement of Holder or Servicer

of Veteran’s Loan, VA Form Letter 26–

559.

OMB Control Number: 2900–0112.

Type of Review: Reinstatement,

without change, of a previously

approved collection for which approval

has expired.

Abstract: Veteran-borrowers may sell

their homes subject to the existing VAguaranteed mortgage lien without prior

approval of VA if the commitment for

the loan was made prior to March 1,

1988. However, if they request release

from personal liability to the

Government in the event of a

subsequent default by a transferee, VA

must determine that (1) loan payments

are current; (2) the transferee will

assume the veteran’s legal liabilities in

connection with the loan; and (3) the

purchaser qualifies from a credit

standpoint. A veteran-borrower also

may sell his or her home to a veterantransferee. However, eligible transferees

must meet all the requirements in

addition to having sufficient available

loan guaranty entitlement to replace the

amount of entitlement used by the seller

in obtaining the original loan.

An agency may not conduct or

sponsor, and a person is not required to

certification and transmission to VA.

The school will transmit the form to the

appropriate VA regional office (i.e.,

Atlanta, Buffalo, Muskogee, or St. Louis)

with jurisdiction over the area where

the school is located. VA is authorized

to pay tutorial assistance under 38

under 10 U.S.C. chapter 1606. Tutorial

months. The student must be training at

one-half time or more in a postsecondary degree program, and must

have a deficiency in a unit course or

subject that is required as part of, or

prerequisite to, his or her approved

program. The student uses VA Form 22–

supplemental allowance. On the form

the student provides information such

as: name; Social Security Number;

mailing address; telephone number;

she requires tutoring, the name of the

tutor; and the date, number of hours and

charges for each tutorial session. The

tutor must verify that he or she provided

the student. The Certifying Official at

the student’s school must verify that the

tutoring was necessary for student’s

pursuit of a program, that the tutor was

qualified, and that the charges for the

tutoring did not exceed the customary

charges for other students.
