Agency Information Collection Activity Under OMB Review: Application for VET TEC 2.0 Program
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) under the Department of Veterans Affairs is submitting a new information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995. This submission pertains to the application form for the High-Technology Veterans Education, Training and Skills (VET TEC 2.0) Program, which is designed to help eligible veterans gain technology-related education and training. VET TEC 2.0 is an expansion or successor to the original VET TEC program, targeting veterans who wish to pursue high-tech training programs in fields such as computer software, data processing, cybersecurity, and related information technology disciplines. The program provides VA education benefits to cover tuition and housing while veterans complete approved training programs offered by partnered providers. As part of the OMB review process, the VBA is required to describe the nature of the information being collected, estimate the expected cost and administrative burden on applicants, and include the actual data collection instrument (i.e., the application form). This notice invites public comment on the necessity, accuracy, and burden of the proposed information collection before OMB makes a final determination.
