    Abstract: VA uses the information collected on VA Form 22-1999 to 
determine the amount of educational benefits payable to the student 
during the period of enrollment or training. Additionally, VA also uses 
these forms to determine whether the student has requested an advance 
payment or accelerated payment of benefits. Without this information, 
VA would not have a basis upon which to make payment or to know if a 
person was requesting an advance or accelerated payment.

currently valid OMB control number. The Federal Register Notice with a
