SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Time Record (Work-Study 

Program), VA Form 22–8690. 

OMB Control Number: 2900–0379. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: Training establishments 

complete VA Form 22–8690 to report 

the number of work-study hours a 

claimant has completed. When a 

claimant elects to receive an advance 

payment, VA will advance payment for 

50 hours, but will withhold benefits (to 

recoup the advance payment) until the 

claimant completes 50 hours of service. 

If the claimant elects not to receive an 

advance payment, benefits are payable 

when the claimant completes 50 hours 

of service. VA uses the data collected to 

ensure that the amount of benefits 

payable to a claimant who is pursuing 

work-study is correct. 

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. The Federal Register 

Notice with a 60-day comment period 

soliciting comments on this collection 

of information was published on 

January 24, 2007 at pages 3195–3196.

Governments, Individuals or 

households, Business or other for-profit, 

Not-for-profit institutions, and Federal 

Government. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 9,168 

hours. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Respondent: 5 minutes. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Annual Responses: 

110,010. 

Estimated Number of Respondents:
