own documentation to make 

administrative revision(s) such as 

changes of address, banking 

information, or ownership changes, 

when all program offerings remain the 

same. The VA Forms 22–10287 and 22– 

10288, and any associated program list 

or documentation are submitted by the 

educational or training institution to the 

SAA of jurisdiction for review. 

Currently the educational institution 

sends the requests for program approval 

to the SAAs either via email, direct 

mail, an SAA portal, or as directed by 

the SAA. The SAA makes an approval 

decision and notifies the institution 

accordingly. The SAA then sends the 

approval package to the VA Education 

Liaison Representative (ELR) of 

jurisdiction. Program reviews will be 

conducted in the near future to 

determine the availability of advanced 

automation technology for submitting 

the applications between educational 

and training institutions, SAAs and VA, 

which may help to reduce future 

burdens. The approval package includes 

the application/form received from the 

training institution, the SAA’s findings, 

and any additional related information 

that supports payment of GI Bill 

benefits, as well as a copy of the 

notification sent to the training 

institution. The VA Education Liaison 

Representative (ELR) reviews the 

approval package for completeness, or 

requests additional information, if 

required. After the package is deemed 

complete, the ELR processes the 

package by entering the required 

information into VA’s internal ‘‘Web 

Enabled Approval Management System 

(WEAMS)’’. The ELR provides the 

report to the training institution, which 

contains the final approval information. 

The ELR then sends a copy to the SAA 

of jurisdiction. Finally, the approval 

data entered in WEAMS by the ELR is 

then used by Veterans Claims 

Examiners to adjudicate education 

benefit claims. 

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
