Title and Form Number: Application

and Enrollment Certification for

Individualized Tutorial Assistance, VA

Form 22–1990t.

Type of Review: Extension of a

currently approved collection.

Need and Uses: The VA uses the

information collected to determine

eligibility for tutorial assistance. The

form is sent by the applicant to the

school for certification and transmission

to the VA. The school will transmit the

form to the appropriate VA regional

office (i.e., Atlanta, Buffalo, Muskogee,

or St. Louis) with jurisdiction over the

area where the school is located.

Without the information on this form,

the VA would be unable to determine

the applicant’s eligibility for tutorial

assistance.

Current Actions: The VA is authorized

to pay tutorial assistance under 38

U.S.C. chapters 30, 32 and 35, and

under 10 U.S.C. chapter 1606. Tutorial

assistance is a supplementary allowance

payable on a monthly basis for up to 12

months. The student must be training at

one-half time or more in a postsecondary degree program, and must

have a deficiency in a unit course or

subject that is required as part of, or

prerequisite to, his or her approved

program. The student uses VA Form 22–

1990t, Application and Enrollment

Certification for Individualized Tutorial

Assistance, to apply for the

supplemental allowance. On the form

the student provides information such

as: name; Social Security Number;

mailing address; telephone number;

program and enrollment information;

the course or courses for which he or

she requires tutoring, the name of the

tutor; and the date, number of hours and

charges for each tutorial session. The

tutor must verify that he or she provided

the tutoring at the specified charges, and

that he or she is not a close relative of

the student. The Certifying Official at

the student’s school must verify that the

tutoring was necessary for student’s

pursuit of a program, that the tutor was

qualified, and that the charges for the

tutoring did not exceed the customary

charges for other students.
