Needs and Uses: The information collection is needed to identify
the prospective trustees for active duty military and retirees. The

functional proponent for Retired and Annuitant Pay.

When members of the uniformed services are declared mentally
incompetent, the need arises to have a trustee appointed to act on
their behalf with regard to military pay matters. Individuals will
complete this form to apply for appointment as a trustee on behalf of
the member. The requirement to complete this form helps alleviate the
opportunity for fraud, waste, and abuse of government funds and
member's benefits.
