Title: VA Form 21P–601, Application
for Accrued Amounts Due a Deceased
Beneficiary.
OMB Control Number: 2900–0216.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: VA Form 21P–601 is used to
gather the information necessary to
determine a claimant’s entitlement to
accrued benefits. Accrued benefits are
amounts of VA benefits due, but unpaid,
to a beneficiary at the time of his or her
death. Benefits are paid to eligible
survivors based on the priority
described in 38 U.S.C. 5121(a). When
there are no eligible survivors entitled to
accrued benefits based on their
relationship to the deceased beneficiary,
the person or persons who bore the
expenses of the beneficiary’s last illness
and burial may claim reimbursement for
these expenses from accrued amounts.
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 87 FR
17140 on March 25, 2022, page 17140.
Affected Public: Individuals or
