Abstract: Restored Entitlement 

Program for Survivors (REPS) benefits 

are payable to certain surviving spouses 

and children of veterans who died in 

service prior to August 13, 1981 or who 

died as a result of a service-connected 

disability incurred or aggravated prior to 

August 13, 1981. Child beneficiaries 

over age 18 and under age 23 must be 

enrolled full-time in an approved postsecondary school. 

VBA uses VA Form 21–8926 to verify 

that a beneficiary who is receiving REPS 

benefits based on schoolchild status is 

enrolled full-time in an approved school 

and is otherwise eligible for continued 

benefits. VBA has used the information 

collected to make such benefit eligibility 

determinations and ensure REPS 

payments are issued properly. 

This form number has been updated 

to ‘‘21P–8926’’ from ‘‘21–8926’’ to 

reflect change of ownership of the form 

to VBA’s Pension and Fiduciary Service. 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

households. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 300 hours. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Respondent: 15 minutes.
