Application for Chapter 23 Burial Benefits: Request for a new control number

[ad_1]

Type of Review: Request for a NEW control number.

Abstract: A claimant’s eligibility for needs-based pension programs are determined in part by countable family income and certain deductible expenses. Under the authority of 38 U.S.C. Chapter 23 “Burial Benefits,” including 38 U.S.C. 2302, VA uses the information provided on VA Form 21P-530EZ to evaluate respondents’ eligibility for monetary burial benefits, including the burial allowance, plot, or interment allowance, and transportation reimbursement. In these situations, VBA uses VA Form 21P-530EZ Application for Burial Benefits, to gather the information that is necessary to determine eligibility for income-based benefits and the rate payable; without this information, determination of eligibility would not be possible. The program office submits 21P-530EZ (Under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 23) as a new form for electronic submissions (automation).

The program office requests removal of the 21P-530EZ (Under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 23), from the 2900-0003 series, as the form should have been submitted as a new form and the name has changed, requiring a separate control number. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of information was published at 86 FR 156 on August 17, 2021, pages 46095.
