SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Child Annuitant's School
Certification; DD Form 2788; OMB Control Number 0730-0001.
Needs and Uses: Child annuitants, between the ages of 18 and 22
years of age, must provide evidence of intent to continue study or
training at a recognized educational institution. The certificate is
required for the school semester or other period in which the school
year is divided. Without this certification, funds cannot be released
to annuitant/payee.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Annual Burden Hours: 3,600.
Number of Respondents: 7,200.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 7,200.
Average Burden per Response: 30 Minutes.
Frequency: Each semester or other period in which the school year
is divided.
The Child Annuitant's School Certification (DD Form 2788) is
generated by the Defense Retired and Annuitant System (DRAS). DRAS
identifies the child annuitant prior to their 18th birthday and sends
initial mailing. Annuity Pay System downloads child annuitant
information into DRAS when retiree is deceased. After the initial
mailing, the child annuitant (18 and over) or payee receives the form
and flex letter annually. Each semester or other period in which the
school year is divided, thereafter, the respondent is required to
complete and return via mail, fax or email to the DFAS as indicated on
the form/letter. The child will certify as to his or her intent for
future enrollment. DFAS reviews the completed form/letter and uses the
information to determine eligibility and release funds. Respondents are
annuitants between the age of 18 and 22 and payees for the children
under age 18.
