Title: Statement of Holder or Servicer 

of Veteran’s Loan, VA Form 26–559. 

OMB Control Number: 2900–0112. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

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 may sell 

his or her home to a veteran-transferee. 

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. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households, Business or other for profit. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 400 hours. 

Estimated Average Burden Per 

Respondent: 10 minutes. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

2,400. 

Dated: October 24, 2005.
