SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority: Public Law 104–13; 44 U.S.C.
3501–3521.

Title: Financial Statement.
OMB Control Number: 2900–0047.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: The major use of the form is
to determine a borrower’s financial
condition in connection with efforts to
reinstate a seriously defaulted,
guaranteed, insured, or portfolio loan. In
addition, the form is used in
determining the financial feasibility of a
veteran or service member to obtain a
home with the assistance of a Specially
Adapted Housing Grant under 38
U.S.C., Chapter 21. Also, VA Form 26–
6807 may be used to establish eligibility
of homeowners for aid under the
Homeowners Assistance Program,
Public Law 89–754, which provides
assistance by reducing losses incident to
the disposal of homes when military
installations at which the homeowners
were employed or serving are ordered
closed in whole or in part. Finally, the
form is used in release of liability and
substitution of entitlement cases. Under
the provisions of 38 U.S.C. 3714, the
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
may release original veteran obligors
from personal liability arising from the
original guaranty of their home loans, or
the making of a direct loan, provided
purchasers/assumers meet the necessary
requirements, among which is
qualifying from a credit standpoint.
Substitution of entitlement is authorized
by 38 U.S.C. 3702(b)(2) and prospective
veteran-assumers must also meet the
creditworthiness requirements.
An agency may not conduct or
