Authority: Public Law 104–13; 44
U.S.C. 3501–3521.
Title: Request for a Certificate of
Eligibility for VA Home Loan Benefit,
VA Form 26–1880.
OMB Control Number: 2900–0086.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: VA Form 26–1880 is used
by VA to determine an applicant’s
eligibility for Loan Guaranty benefits,
and the amount of entitlement available.
Each completed form is normally
accompanied by proof of military
service and is submitted by the
applicant to the appropriate VA office.
If eligible, VA will issue the applicant
a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) to be
used in applying for Loan Guaranty
benefits.
This form is also used in restoration
of entitlement cases. Generally, if an
applicant has used all or part of his or
her entitlement, it may be restored if (1)
the property has been sold and the loan
has been paid in full or (2) a qualified
veteran-transferee agrees to assume the
balance on the loan and agrees to
substitute his or her entitlement for the

PO 00000

same amount of entitlement originally
used by the applicant to get the loan.
The buyer must also meet the
occupancy and income and credit
requirements of the law. Restoration is
not automatic; an applicant must apply
for it by completing VA Form 26–1880.
The Secretary is required by 38 U.S.C.
3702 (a), (b), and (c) to determine the
applicant’s eligibility for Loan Guaranty
benefits, compute the amount of
entitlement, and document the
certificate with the amount and type of
guaranty used and the amount, if any,
remaining.
Affected Public: Individuals and
households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 80,250
hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent: 15 minutes.
Frequency of Response: One-time.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
321,000.
