The form is completed by employees of
lending institutions to determine the veteran-borrower's ability to
qualify for a VA-guaranteed loan authorized by 38 U.S.C. 3710(a).
VA reviews the form to verify the lender's adherence to VA credit
standards.
The burden hours increased
based on an estimate of higher loan volume. Due to historically low
interest rates, loan volume is increasing. A lower interest rate
makes refinancing attractive and encourages new home loans.
