Burden Reduction Due to: Using Information Technology

Short Statement: Use of improved information technology in gathering this information has been employed in VA’s Loan Electronic Reporting Interface (VALERI) system. That data is still captured via telephone interview, but the system guides the LSR through the items needing review. However, the form is still used when telephone contact cannot be made or the borrower does not have time to provide the information over the telephone and requests a written document for completion. The reduction in cases is due to two reasons. There are fewer defaults being reported to VA, thus fewer interviews are needed
