Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: The VA Form 26-1817 is submitted by an unmarried
surviving spouse of a veteran whose death was service-connected for
determination of eligibility for VA home loan benefits as authorized by
38 U.S.C. 3701(b)(2). Serves to record application and internal VA
processing of request including verification on veterans service-
connected death and status of applicant as unmarried surviving spouse.
In addition, adjustments were made to the burden hours from the
previous submission. The change reflects a correction to a previous
estimate. The adjustments is attributed to a higher number of
respondent applications, likely due to an increase in VA home loan
benefit among the surviving spouses.
Affected Public: Individuals and households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 3,125 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 15 minutes.
Frequency of Response: One Time.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 12,500.
