VA Form VA40-0895-6: Certification of Matching Architectural and Engineering Funds

VA Form VA40-0895-6 is the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Certification of State or Tribal Government Matching Architectural and Engineering Funds to Qualify for Group 1 on the Priority List, as required by 38 USC 2408 and 38 CFR Part 39. The PDF's own heading reads Certification of State or Tribal Government Resources to Initially Fund the Architectural and Engineering Portion of the Project Development.

The form says the information is necessary to ensure that the State, Tribal or eligible County government provides documentation as having legislative authority to support the project and the resources necessary to initially fund the architectural and engineering portion of the project development. It is one page: the amount and availability of the funds, the project FAI number, a budget official's certification and signature, and an enclosure. It has no fields for a Veteran or family member, and VA's form page lists it as related to VACO. You can fill out the PDF free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
