                        Denise McLamb, Records Management Service (005G2), Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20420, (202) 565-8374, fax (202) 565-7870 or e-mail                         *denise.mclamb@mail.va.gov.*                         Please refer to “OMB Control No. 2900-0379.”                     

# 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.
