SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Annual Certification of Veteran Status and Veteran-Relatives
(VA Form 20-0344).
OMB Control Number: 2900-0654 <a href="https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRASearch">https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRASearch</a>.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: VA Form 20-0344 is necessary to ensure that benefit
records of employees and employees' relatives are properly maintained
in accordance with VA policy. Without the information provided on this
form, VA would be unable to determine which benefit records require
special handling to guard against fraud, conflict of interest, improper
influence etc. by VA and non-VA employees. No changes have been made to
this form. The respondent burden has decreased due to the estimated
number of receivables averaged over the past year.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. The Federal Register Notice with a
60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of
information was published at 89 FR 20300, March 21, 2024.
Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 5,640 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 25 minutes.
Frequency of Response: One time.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 13,534 per year.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
