Title: Supporting Statement Regarding
Marriage (VA Form 21P–4171).
OMB Control Number: 2900–0115.
Type of Review: Reinstatement
without change of a previously
approved collection.
Abstract: 38 U.S.C. 103 requires a
marital relationship to be established
before benefits may be paid to, or for, a
spouse of a Veteran. VA codified this
requirement at 38 CFR 3.1(j), which
states ‘‘a marriage valid under the law
of the place where the parties resided at
the time of marriage, or the law of the
place where the parties resided when
the right to benefits accrued.’’
The information requested under this
collection is necessary to establish the
common-law marriage of a Veteran and
the dependency of the Veteran’s
common-law spouse for the purpose of
paying monetary benefits.
VBA utilizes VA Form 21P–4171 to
collect information from third-parties
regarding claimed common-law
marriage between Veterans and spouses/
surviving spouses. VBA uses the
information collected to determine
whether or not the claimed commonlaw marriage is valid under the law of
the place where the parties resided at
the time of marriage, or the law of the
place where the parties resided when
the right to benefits accrued, to comply
with 38 CFR 3.1(j) and pay monetary
benefits.
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 82 FR
44032 on September 20, 2017.
Affected Public: Individuals or
Households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 800 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
