OMB Control Number 2900-0099
2900-0099 (VA Form 22-5495)
VA is requesting a non-substantive revision to OMB control number 2900-0099.
This information collection is being revised to include statutory language in support of the implementation of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).
This information collection is being revised to include the statutory standard, 38 U.S.C. § 103(c), that prescribes when the Department of Veterans Affairs can recognize a Veteran’s marriage for the purpose of certain VA benefits. Due to recent developments in law regarding same-sex marriage, VA is seeking to make the section 103(c) standard known through form instructions, web pages, and other means so that claimants and applicants are aware of when VA can recognize their marriage.
