OMB Control Number: 2900-0101.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently/previously approved
collection.
Abstract: A claimant's eligibility for Pension is determined, in
part, by countable family income and net worth. Any individual who has
applied for, or receives, VA Pension or Parents' Dependency and
Indemnity Compensation (DIC) must promptly notify the VA in writing of
any change in entitlement factors. VBA uses Eligibility Verification
Reports (EVRs) to receive income and net worth information from Pension
and Parents DIC claimants and beneficiaries to evaluate eligibility for
benefits. The reported information can result in increased or decreased
benefits. Typically, the claimants and beneficiaries utilize the form
to notify the VA of changes in income and net worth, though the forms
could be used to reopen a claim for benefits in limited circumstances.
This is a request for an extension of the EVR collections with no
substantive changes.
Affected Public: Individuals and households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 34,500 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 30 minutes.
Frequency of Response: One time.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 69,000.
By direction of the Secretary.

VA PRA Clearance Officer, Office of Enterprise and Integration/Data
