Title: Monthly Certification of OnThe-Job and Apprenticeship Training.
OMB Control Number: 29000178.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: Benefits are authorized monthly based on the number of hours worked by the trainee as verified by the training establishment. Unscheduled terminations result in the termination of benefits. If hours are reduced to less than a full-time work schedule, a reduction of benefits will occur. Public Law 11589 Veterans Apprenticeship and Labor Opportunity Reform Act VALOR Act was signed into law on November 21, 2017. Section 3 of this law amended 38 U.S.C. 3680c to eliminate the trainees certification requirement. As a result, this form is only completed, signed, and certified by the training establishment to report the trainees number of hours worked and/
or to report the trainees date of termination. The form no longer requires the signature of the trainee. The form is then sent to the Regional Processing Office RPO for processing.
Affected Public: Individuals and households.

hours.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 10 minutes.
Frequency of Response: Twelve 12
Annually per Respondent.
