Abstract: VA Form 26–1817 is used
by VA to determine whether or not an

eligible for the VA home loan benefit.
Section 3702(c) of Title 38, U.S.C. states

Administrative activity for
determination of the applicant’s basic
eligibility. Adjudication will then notify
Loan Guaranty about the basic eligibility
for issuance of the COE. The
information collected on the form
provides the essential information
necessary for VA to make a proper
determination.

households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 1250
hours.
