SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Privacy Act of 1974; System of
Records

Authority: 38 U.S.C. 501.
Title: Mandatory Verification of
Dependents (VA Form 21–0538).
OMB Control Number: 2900–0500.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: VA Form 21–0538 is used to
request verification of the status of
dependents for whom additional
compensation is being paid to veterans.
Without this information, continued
entitlement to the benefits for
dependents could not be determined.
VA Form 21–0538 has been revised;
(1) letter template removed as it was a
duplicate of a VA cover letter already in
use, (2) the title has been changed from
‘Mandatory Status of Dependents’ to
Mandatory Verification of Dependents,
(3) Section II: Status Certification, was
added to help delineate whether the
veteran is needed to provide additional
information on the status of their
dependents, or not, (4) the form was
changed to include removals only as
these are dependents that have already
been previously added to the veteran’s
benefits, as another collection is used to
add dependents, and (5) an e-signature
has been added to provide a digital
format for online signatures. The burden
estimate has also been decreased.
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 85 FR
196 on October 8, 2020, pages 63661
and 63662.

Households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 29,233
hours.
