SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Verification of VA Benefits, VA 

Form 26–8937. 

OMB Control Number: 2900–0406. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: Lenders authorized to make 

VA-guaranteed home or manufactured 

loans on an automatic basis are required 

to determine through VA whether any 

benefits related debts exist in the 

veteran-borrower’s name prior to the 

closing of any automatic loan. Lenders 

cannot close any proposed automatic 

loan until evidence is received from VA 

stating that there is no debt, or if a debt 

exists, or the veteran has agreed on an 

acceptable repayment plan, or payments 

under a plan already in effect are 

current. VA Form 26–8937 is used to 

assist lenders and VA in the completion 

of debt checks in a uniform manner. The 

form restricts information requested to 

only what is needed for the debt check 

and to eliminate unlimited versions of 

lender-designed forms. The form also 

informs the lender whether or not the 

veteran is exempt from paying the 

funding fee, which must be collected on 

all VA home loans unless the veteran is 

receiving service-connected disability 

compensation. 

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 

November 13, 2009, at pages 58684–
