SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number:
Application for Transitional Compensation; DD Form 2698; OMB Control
Number 0704-0578.
Needs and Uses: DoD Instruction (DoDI) 1342.24, ``Transitional
Compensation (TC) for Abused Dependents,'' establishes policy in
accordance with section 1059 of title 10, U.S.C., ``Dependents of
members separated for dependent abuse: TC; commissary and exchange
benefits; lodging expenses.'' In order to validate eligibility for the
benefit and to ensure payment to the appropriate claimant, the Services
obtain information from the abused dependents or their legal
representative. This includes personal identifiable information such as
name, social security numbers, dates of birth, etc. In order to collect
this information, DoDI 1342.24 directs the Service representatives to
use DD Form 2698, ``Application for TC.'' The potential claimant
travels to the office of the Service representative at the closest
military installation. The Service representative provides the
potential claimant with a blank hard-copy DD Form 2698 to ensure they
meet the eligibility requirements for the pay, identify the number of
dependent children in the payee's custody, and to obtain the current
address of the eligible dependent(s) or their legal representative. The
claimant will complete Section I and the Service representative will
complete Sections II and III of DD Form 2698. The form is then scanned
and sent electronically via secure email to Defense Finance Accounting
Service (DFAS) to complete Section IV of DD Form 2698. Once
confirmation of eligibility is made by DFAS, the claimant will begin
receiving benefits. All records, both electronic and hard-copy, are
filed/stored on a secure database and/or in a secure workspace in
accordance with Department of Defense records management protocol.
