As part of the benefits authorization process, § 21.4201 places restrictions on enrollment based on the percentage of students receiving financial support in any approved program. These percentages are reported to VA routinely within 30 days of each standard term, semester or quarter, or on a quarterly basis dependent on school type, using VA Form 22-10215. Schools can request an exemption of this reporting requirement through the new from in this collection, VA From 22-10216. VA still requires the school collect the enrollment data, just not report the data to VA on a regular basis . The information requested on VA Form 22-10216 is used to ensure the school is entitled to this reporting exemption and will continue to properly collect the enrollment data.
The burden has increased since the inception and initial approval of this relatively new collection. Based on the data collection received for calendar years 2022 and 2023 there has been a slight increase in the number of average annual 35% exemption request instruments received. The Program Office did not start receiving the instruments until after November 2021.
