This new information collection seeks to streamline this process through the use of a form that collects information needed for VA to release the refund to an individual other than the Veteran. VA has further determined that it may release the funds directly to the individual, rather than to the estate of the Veteran, provided the person claiming the refund attests to certain information regarding the Veteranâs estate as well as their intention to disburse the refund in accordance with appropriate estate laws. VA notes that this approach is consistent with how other federal agencies, such as the Internal Revenue Service, process refunds owed to deceased individuals.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
