Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary
for individuals to apply for enrollment in the continued Health Care
Benefit Program (CHCBP). The CHCBP is a program of temporary health
care benefit coverage that is made available to eligible individuals
who lose health care coverage under the Military Health System (MHS).
Affected Public: Individuals and households.
Annual Burden Hours: 369.
Number of Respondents: 1,475.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 1,475.
Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondents are individuals who are or were beneficiaries of the
Military Health System (MHS) and who desire to enroll in the CHCBP
following their loss of entitlement to health care coverage in the MHS.
These beneficiaries include the active duty service member or former
service member (who, for purposes of this notice shall be referred to
as ``service member''), an unmarried former spouse of a service member,
an unmarried child of a service member who ceases to meet requirements
for being considered a dependent, and a child placed for adoption or
legal custody with the service member. In order to be eligible for
health care coverage under CHCBP, an individual must first enroll in
CHCBP. DD Form 2837 is used as the information collection instrument
for that enrollment. The CHCBP is a legislatively mandated program and
it is anticipated that the program will continue indefinitely.
