PRIVACY ACT NOTICE: Section 8006 of Public Law 117-2, and Section 116 of Public Law 115-48 authorized VA to implement the Veteran
Rapid Retraining Assistance Program (VRRAP), and the Veteran Employment through Technology Education Courses (VET TEC) programs,
respectively. Both of these programs provide assistance to an eligible veteran for the pursuit of a covered program of education. This form therefore
allows veterans who either participated in a VRRAP or VET TEC program to certify to VA that they have found employment in a field related to
their program of education. Also, this form is used to collect certain information from the applicant to be used in VA reports to Congress that
will assist with outcome measures. While you do not have to respond, VA cannot process your claim for education assistance unless the
information is furnished as required by Section 8006 of Public Law 117-2 or Section 116 of Public Law 115-48. 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 with other agencies.
RESPONDENT BURDEN: We need this information to determine your ability to participate in either the VRRAP or VET TEC Program.
Section 8006 of Public Law 117-2 and Section 116 of Public Law 115-48 allows us to ask for this information. We estimate that you will need an
average of 5 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.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. If desired, you can
call 1-800-827-1000 to get information on where to send comments or suggestions about this form.
