Abstract:

VA uses the information collected on VA Form 22-1999 to determine the amount of educational benefits payable to the student during the period of enrollment or training. Additionally, with the exception of chapter 33, VA also uses these forms to determine whether the student has requested an advance payment or accelerated payment of benefits. Without this information, VA would not have a basis upon which to make payment or to know if a person was requesting an advance or accelerated payment.

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
