Title; Associated Form; and OMB
Number: Dependency Statements;
Parent (DD Form 137–3), Child Born
Out of Wedlock Under Age 21 (DD Form
137–4), Incapacitated Child Over Age 21
(DD Form 137–5), Full Time Student
21–22 Years of Age (DD Form 137–6),
and Ward of a Court (DD Form 137–7);
OMB Control Number 0730–0014.
Needs and Uses: The information
collection requirement is necessary to
certify dependency or obtain
information to determine entitlement to
basic allowance for housing (BAH) with
dependent rate, travel allowance, or
uniformed services identification and
privilege card. Information regarding a
parent, a child born out-of-wedlock, an
incapacitated child over age 21, a
student age 21–22, or a ward of a court
is provided by the military member. A
medical doctor or psychiatrist, college
administrator, or a dependent’s
employer may need to provide
information for claims. Pursuant to 37
U.S.C. 401, 403, 406, and 10 U.S.C. 1072
and 1076, the member must provide
more than one half of the claimed
dependent’s monthly expenses.
DoDFMR 7000.14–R, Vol. 7A, defines
dependency and directs that
dependency be proven. Dependency
claim examiners use the information
from these forms to determine the
degree of benefits. The requirement to
provide the information decreases the
possibility of monetary allowances
being approved on behalf of ineligible
dependents.

households

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Summary of Information Collection
When military members apply for
benefits, they must complete the form
which corresponds to the particular
dependent situation (a parent, a child
born out-of-wedlock, an incapacitated
child over age 21, a student age 21–22,
or a ward of a court). While members
usually complete these forms, they can

also be completed by others considered
members of the public. Dependency
claim examiners use the information
from these forms to determine the
degree of benefits. Without this
collection of information, proof of an
entitlement to a benefit would not exist.
The requirement to complete these
forms helps alleviate the opportunity for
fraud, waste, and abuse of dependent
benefits.
