Va Form Change PDF Details

Understanding the complexities of navigating benefits for veterans and their families, the VA Change Form (VA FORM 22-1995) serves as a critical tool in maintaining the flow of educational assistance benefits as veterans' educational paths evolve. This detailed form captures a broad range of information, starting with basic identification and personal details, extending through specific educational intentions, and even covering the logistical aspects of direct deposit for the disbursement of benefits. It is designed for those who are making significant transitions such as changing their program of study or the institution where they are pursuing their studies, reentering an educational program after a period of absence, or adjusting their benefits status due to changes in their active military duty status. Noteworthy is the form's structure which guides applicants through the process of documenting their educational goals, past educational experiences, and future aspirations. It balances the need for thoroughness with respect for the respondent's time, estimating a completion time of just 20 minutes. Its role extends beyond a mere bureaucratic necessity; completing this form correctly is a step toward securing rightfully earned educational benefits, thus supporting veterans in their pursuit of personal and professional development post-service. Furthermore, the form also touches on aspects related to dependents, service periods, and specific instructions for ensuring the accuracy and security of benefit payments through direct deposit, illustrating the VA's commitment to addressing the comprehensive needs of those it serves.

REQUEST TO OPT OUT OF INFORMATION SHARING WITH EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS:

The Harry W. Colmery Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2017 (Public Law 115-48), also known as the "Forever GI Bill," requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to make available to educational institutions information about the amount of educational assistance to which a Veteran or other eligible individual is entitled. If you're eligible for the Post-9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33), Montgomery GI Bill - Active Duty (Chapter 30), Montgomery GI Bill -Selected Reserve, (Chapter 1606), or the Survivors' and Dependents' Educational Assistance Program (DEA) (Chapter 35), you may elect to “opt-out” of these disclosures and have VA withhold this information instead. To request an opt-out, or for information about how to opt- out, please refer to our website at va.gov, or click https://www.va.gov/find-forms/, to complete the Request to Opt-Out of Information Sharing with Educational Institutions, VA Form 22-0993.

PRIVACY ACT NOTICE: The VA will not disclose information collected on this form to any source other than what has been authorized under the Privacy Act of 1974 or title 38, Code of Federal Regulations, section 1.526 for routine uses (e.g. VA sends educational forms or letters with a veteran's identifying information to the veteran's school or training establishment to (1) assist the veteran in the completion of claims forms or (2) for the VA to obtain further information as may be necessary from the school for the VA to properly process the veteran's education claim or to monitor his or her progress during training) as identified in the VA system of records, 58VA21/22/28, Compensation, Pension, Education and Veteran Readiness and Employment Services - VA, published in the Federal Register. Your obligation to respond is required to obtain or retain education benefits. The requested information is considered relevant and necessary to determine the maximum benefits under the law. While you do not have to respond, VA cannot process your claim for education assistance unless the information is furnished as required by existing law (38 U.S.C. 3471). The responses you submit are considered confidential (38 U.S.C. 5701). Any information provided by applicants, recipients, and others may be subject to verification through computer matching programs with other agencies.

RESPONDENT BURDEN: We need this information to determine your continued eligibility to VA education benefits (38 U.S.C. 3471). Title 38, United States Code, allows us to ask for this information. We estimate that you will need an average of 20 minutes to review the instructions, find the information, and complete this form. VA cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless a valid OMB control number is displayed. You are not required to respond to a collection of information if this number is not displayed. Valid OMB control numbers can be located on the OMB Internet Page at http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain.
