SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Custodianship Certification
to Support Claims on Behalf of Minor Children of Deceased Members of
the Armed Forces; DD Form 2790; OMB Control Number 0730-0010.
Needs and Uses: Per DoD Financial Management Regulation, 7000.14-R,
Volume 7B, Chapter 46, paragraph 460103A(1), an annuity for a minor
child is paid to the legal guardian, or, if there is no legal guardian,
to the natural parent who has care, custody, and control of the child
as the custodian, or to a representative payee of the child. An annuity
may be paid directly to the child when the child is considered to be of
majority age under the law in the state of residence. The child then is
considered an adult for annuity purposes and a custodian or legal
fiduciary is not required.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Annual Burden Hours: 50.
Number of Respondents: 300.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 300.
Average Burden per Response: 10 minutes.
Frequency: On occasion.
DD Form 2790 is used by DFAS to determine the authorized payee for
deceased retiree SBP payments. In order to pay the annuity to the
correct person on behalf of a child under the age of majority, the form
is mailed upon notification of death of retiree and completed by the
custodian (legal guardian, natural parent, or representative payee of
child) of the dependent child(ren), certifying their eligibility. The
form can then be mailed or faxed back upon completion. If the form,
with the completed certification is not received, the annuity payments
are suspended.
If the form is received and not filled out fully, an information
request memorandum is sent back to the respondent, along with the
originally submitted form, and asked to complete required data on the
form and return to DFAS.
Dated: February 23, 2023.
