SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority: 38 U.S.C. 23; 38 U.S.C. 2302.
Title: Application for Chapter 23 Burial Benefits.
OMB Control Number: 2900-NEW.
Type of Review: Request for a NEW control number.
Abstract: A claimant's eligibility for needs-based pension programs
are determined in part by countable family income and certain
deductible expenses. Under the authority of 38 U.S.C. Chapter 23
``Burial Benefits,'' including 38 U.S.C. 2302, VA uses the information
provided on VA Form 21P-530EZ to evaluate respondents' eligibility for
monetary burial benefits, including the burial allowance, plot or
internment allowance, and transportation reimbursement. In these
situations, VBA uses VA Form 21P-530EZ Application for Burial Benefits,
to gather information that is necessary to determine eligibility for
income-based benefits and the rate payable; without this information,
determination of eligibility would not be possible. The program office
submits 21P-530EZ (Under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 23) as a new form for
electronic submissions (automation).
The program office requests removal of the 21P-530EZ (Under 38
U.S.C. Chapter 23), from the 2900-0003 series, as the form should have
been submitted as a new form and the name has changed, requiring a
separate control number. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day
comment period soliciting comments on this collection of information
was published at 86 FR 156 on August 17, 2021, pages 46095.
Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 70,000 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 30 minutes.
Frequency of Response: Once.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 140,000.
By direction of the Secretary.
Maribel Aponte,
VA PRA Clearance Officer, Office of Enterprise and Integration, Data
Governance Analytics, Department of Veterans Affairs.
