Abstract: The information collected in this package assists Native American Veterans in obtaining the VA home loan benefit to purchase, construct, or improve dwellings on trust lands, or to refinance their existing NADL to a lower interest rate. The information requested by VA is vital to the NADL program’s process and allows VA to determine program eligibility by gathering evidence of Native American Veteran borrowers’ tribal membership status and ownership interest in the land on which the dwelling, or proposed dwelling, is or will be situated.
