SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Title: REPS Annual Eligibility Report--REPS, 21P-8941.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0405.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: VA Form 21P-8941 is primarily used to gather the 
necessary information to determine a claimant's continued eligibility 
for REPS benefits. The information on the form is necessary when a 
claimant has an income that is at, or near, the allowable limit for 
income. The form is returned by mail or in person to certify REPS 
eligibility requirements. Once the form is received, claim processors 
review the information provided and assess whether the claimant is 
eligible for REP benefits. Without this information, determination of 
continued entitlement would not be possible. This is an extension with 
no substantive changes to the form. There has been no burden change 
since the last approval.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. The Federal Register Notice with a 
60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection
