PRIVACY ACT NOTICE: VA will not disclose information collected on this form to any source other than
what has been authorized under the Privacy Act of 1974 or Title 38, Code of Federal Regulations 1.576 for
routine uses as identified in the VA system of records, 58VA21/22, Compensation, Pension, Education and
Rehabilitation Records - VA, and published in the Federal Register. An example of a routine use allows VA to
send educational forms or letters with a veteran’s identifying information to the veteran’s school or training
establishment to (1) assist the veteran in the completion of claims forms or (2) for VA to obtain further
information as may be necessary from the school for VA to properly process the veteran’s education claim or to
monitor his or her progress during training. Your obligation to respond is required to obtain or retain education
benefits. The requested information is considered relevant and necessary to determine the maximum benefits
under the law. Payment of education benefits cannot be made unless the information is furnished as required by
existing law (38 U.S.C. 3471). The responses you submit are considered confidential (38 U.S.C. 5701). Any
information provided by applicants, recipients, and others may be subject to verification through computer
matching programs with other agencies.
RESPONDENT BURDEN: We need this information to determine your eligibility to receive education benefits
for individual courses pursued at a second institution will fulfill requirements in your approved program of
education at your primary institution (school which will grant your degree) (38 U.S.C. 3002(3), 3202(3),
3452(b), and 3501(a)(5)). Educational assistance will not be payable for those courses unless VA receives
evidence from your primary school that they will grant credit for those courses. Your primary school granting
credit shows that they consider that you are pursuing your approved program while enrolled in these courses (38
U.S.C. 3014, 3231(a)(3), 3481(a), and 3531(a)). Title 38, United States Code, allows us to ask for this
information. We estimate that you will need an average of 10 minutes to review the instructions, find the
information, and complete this form. VA cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless a valid
OMB control number is displayed. You are not required to respond to a collection of information if this number
is not displayed. Valid OMB control numbers can be located on the OMB Internet Page at
www.whitehouse.gov/omb/library/OMBINV.VA.EPA.html#VA . If desired, you can call 1-888-GI-BILL-1
(1-888-442-4551) to get information on where to send comments or suggestions about this form.
