Form/National Service Trust AmeriCorps--Manual Payment Request Form is 
used to make payments to repay qualified student loans and to pay for 
the cost of attending eligible post-secondary educational institutions 
and approved School-to-Work programs. Prior to making the payments, 
CNCS will review information from the forms and compare it to 
information taken from the AmeriCorps members' education award 
account(s) to ensure that the payments meet the requirements of the 
law. This information collection is not required to be considered for 
obtaining grant funding support. CNCS seeks to renew the current 
information collection. The information collection will otherwise be 
used in the same manner as the existing application. CNCS also seeks to 
continue using the current application until the revised application is 
approved by OMB. The current application expired on August 31, 2019.

    Dated: September 3, 2019.
