SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Application for Former
Spouse Payments from Retired Pay, DD Form 2293; OMB Number 0730-0008.
[[Page 12665]]
Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary
to provide DFAS with the basic data needed to process court orders for
division of military retired pay as property or order alimony and child
support payment from that retired pay per title 10 U.S.C. 1408.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Annual Burden Hours: 12,500.
Number of Respondents: 25,000.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 25,000.
Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes.
Frequency: On occasion.
The respondents to this information collection are spouses or
former spouses (herein referred to as applicant) of military members
who access the form through the DoD forms website. The applicant
submits through U.S. Mail Service or by fax a DD Form 2293,
``Application for Former Spouse Payments from Retired Pay,'' to DFAS
and a copy of a court order that requires the division of a member's
military retired pay, or orders the member to make monthly payment of
either child support or alimony. The information from the DD Form 2293
is used by DFAS to process the applicant's request as authorized under
title 10 U.S.C. 1408.
The information is required to properly identify the former spouse
applicant and identify the service member, whose retired pay is to be
deducted, by name, address and social security number. The DD Form 2293
was devised to standardize applications for payment under the Act.
Information on the form is also used to determine the applicant's
current status and contains the statutory required certifications the
applicant/former spouse must make when applying for payments.
After the application is reviewed for sufficiency, the application
and the military member are advised whether the application will be
honored or rejected, any further documentation needed, and if
applicable, notifies when payments to the former spouse will be
implemented by mail. The mail templates used to notify applicant if
application is being honored or rejected will be submitted as part of
the collection package.
Dated: February 23, 2023.
