    Title: Student Beneficiary Report--REPS (Restored Entitlement 
Program for Survivors).
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0399 https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRASearch.
    Type of Review: Extension of a previously approved collection.
    Abstract: VA Form 21P-8938-1 is primarily used to verify that a 
surviving child who is receiving REPS benefits based on school-child 
status is in fact enrolled full-time in an approved school and is 
otherwise eligible for continued benefits. VA Form 21P-8938-1 is 
generated by VA's central computer system each March and sent to all 
student beneficiaries. If the completed form is not received by the end 
of May, the beneficiary is sent a system-generated due process letter 
with another VA Form 21P-8938-1. No changes have been made to this 
form. The respondent burden has remained the same.
    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 of 
information was published at 89 FR 40539, May 10, 2024.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 300 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 20 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: One time.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,200.
    Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
