This information collection seeks to streamline the loan fee refund 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 Veteran’s 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.
