III. 2025 TRIP Data Call

lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1

Treasury, through an insurance
statistical aggregator, will accept group
or insurer registration forms through
https://tripsection111data.com.
Registration is mandatory for all
insurers participating in the 2025 TRIP
Data Call. Upon registration, the
aggregator will transmit individualized
data collection forms (in Excel format)
to the reporting group or insurer via a
secure file transfer portal. The reporting
group or insurer may transmit a
complete data submission via the same
portal using either the provided Excel
forms or a .csv file.13
Copies of the instructions and data
collection forms are available on
Treasury’s website in a read-only
format. Reporting insurers will obtain
the fillable reporting forms directly from
the data aggregator only after registering
for the data collection process.
Reporting insurers are required to
register and submit complete data to
Treasury no later than May 15, 2025.
Because of the statutory reporting
deadline for Treasury’s 2025 Small
Insurer Study to Congress, no
extensions will be granted. Reporting
insurers can ask the data aggregator
questions about registration, form
completion, and submission at
tripsection111data@iso.com. Reporting
insurers may also submit questions to
the Treasury contacts listed above.
Questions regarding submission of data
to state insurance regulators should be
directed to the appropriate state
insurance regulator or the NAIC.
All data submitted to the aggregator is
subject to the confidentiality and data
protection provisions of TRIA and the
Program Rules, as well as to section 552
of title 5, United States Code, including
any exceptions thereunder. In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501–3521),
the information collected through the
web portal has been approved by OMB
under Control Number 1505–0257. An
agency may not conduct or sponsor, and
a person is not required to respond to,
a collection of information unless it
displays a valid OMB control number.

[OMB Control No. 2900–0406]

Agency Information Collection Activity
Under OMB Review: Verification of VA
Benefits
Veterans Benefits
Administration, Department of Veterans
Affairs.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

In compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of
1995, this notice announces that the
Veterans Benefits Administration,
Department of Veterans Affairs, will
submit the collection of information
abstracted below to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and comment. The PRA
submission describes the nature of the
information collection and its expected
cost and burden, and it includes the
actual data collection instrument.
DATES: Comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent by
May 19, 2025.
ADDRESSES: To submit comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection, please type the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Verification of VA Benefits (VA
Form 26–8937).
OMB Control Number: 2900–0406
https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRASearch.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: VA Form 26–8937 is
designed to assist lenders and VA in the
completion of debt checks in a uniform
manner. The form restricts information
requested to only that needed for the
debt check and also eliminates
unlimited versions of lender-designed
forms. This form is also occasionally
used to inform the lender prior to loan
closing if a Veteran is eligible for an
exemption from the funding fee.
Lenders ensure the completion of the
upper portion of VA Form 26–8937,
including the veteran’s authorization for
release of the information, and forward
it to the appropriate VA Office. VA
personnel perform the debt check,
complete the balance of the form, and

return it to the lender, who considers
any repayment terms in evaluating the
veteran’s creditworthiness. Following
the closing of any loan, the lender
submits the form with the loan report
and related documents for post-closing
review. The form is reviewed by a loan
examiner to ensure that debt check
requirements have been observed in
each case.
The decrease in the use of the form is
due to system enhancements which now
allow VA to provide the lenders more
reliable and timely updates (Veteran’s
funding fee exemption status, the
amount of a Veteran’s VA serviceconnected disability award, or the loan
level requirement for VA pre-close prior
approval) on the veteran’s Certificate of
Eligibility, which in turn has reduced
the need for the lenders to submit the
verification form. The form is still
required from the lender for VA pending
pre-discharge claims or when system
issues prevent automatic COE updates.
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 insert

Affected Public: Individuals or

Estimated Annual Burden: 250 hours.

OMB Control Number: 2900–0629
https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRASearch.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: Title 38 U.S.C. chapter 17
authorizes VA to provide hospital care,
medical services, domiciliary care, and
nursing home care to eligible Veterans.
Title 38 U.S.C. 1705 requires VA to
design, establish, and operate a system
of annual patient enrollment in
accordance with a series of stipulated
priorities. A consequence of this is that
many groups of Veterans who are in a
lower priority group (WWI Veterans,
Veterans with disabilities rated as 0%
service-connected seeking treatment for
other than their service-connected
conditions, Veterans exposed to a toxic
substance, radiation, or environmental
hazard and nonservice-connected
Veterans) may request that they be
allowed to be income tested in order to
gain a higher priority. Title 38 U.S.C.
1722 establishes eligibility assessment
procedures for cost-free VA medical
care, based on income levels, which will
determine whether nonserviceconnected and 0% service-connected
non-compensable Veterans are able to
defray the necessary expenses of care for
nonservice-connected conditions. Title
38 U.S.C. 1722A establishes the
eligibility assessment procedures, based
on income levels, for determining
Veterans’ eligibility for cost-free
medications. Title 38 U.S.C. 1710B

VerDate Sep<11>2014

17:07 Apr 17, 2025

Jkt 265001

defines the procedures for establishing
eligibility for cost-free Extended Care
benefits. Title 38 U.S.C 1729 authorizes
VA to recover from Veterans’ health
insurance carriers the cost of care
furnished for their nonserviceconnected conditions.
VA Form 10–10EC, Application for
Extended Care Services, is used to
collect financial information necessary
to determine a Veteran’s copayment
obligation for extended care services,
also known as long term care (LTC). The
10–10EC design has been revised to
clarify the instructions and make it
easier to understand and complete the
form. However, there are no changes to
the anticipated annual number of
responses or burden hours for this
information collection.
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
