OMB Control Number: 2900–0745.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: VA Form 26–8261a is used
by VA to determine an applicant’s
eligibility for a possible reduced down
payment when obtaining a loan insured
by the Federal Housing Administration
(FHA), under the provisions of Section
203(b)(2) or 220(d)(a) of the National
Housing Act as amended. FHA actually
provides the benefit. However, VA is
charged with determining if the veteranapplicant meets the basic eligibility
requirements regarding length and
character of service. If eligibility is
established, VA issues the applicant a
Certificate of Veterans Status that is
then used when the borrower obtains an
FHA insured loan. This certificate gives
the borrower the possibility of a reduced
down payment on an FHA backed loan.
Affected Public: Individuals and
households.
