SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Evidence for Transfer of Entitlement of Education Benefits 
(CFR 21.7080).
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0708.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: Servicemembers on active duty may request to designate up 
to a maximum of 18 months of their educational assistance entitlement 
to their spouse, one or more of their children, or a combination of the 
spouse and children. VA will accept DOD Form 2366-1 as evidence that 
the servicemember was approved by the military to transfer entitlement. 
The servicemember must submit in writing to VA, the name of each 
dependent, the number of months of entitlement transferred to each 
dependent, and the period (beginning date or ending date) for which the 
transfer will be effective for each designated dependent. VA will use 
the information shown on DOD Form 2366-1 to determine whether the 
dependent qualifies to receive education benefits under the transfer of 
entitlement provision of law.
