Title; Associated Form; and OMB
Number: Continued Health Care Benefit
Program, DD Form 2837; OMB Control
Number: 0720–TBD: Previously cleared
under 0704–0364.
Needs and Uses: The continuing
information collection requirement is
necessary for individuals to apply for
enrollment in the Continued Health
Care Benefit Program (CHCBP). The
CHCBP is a program of temporary health
care benefit coverage that is made
available to eligible individuals who
lose health care coverage under the
Military Health System (MHS).
Affected Public: Individuals or
Households.
Annual Burden Hours: 625.
Number of Respondents: 2500.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Total Annual Responses: 2500.
Average Burden per Response: 15
minutes.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondents are individuals who are
or were beneficiaries of the Military
Health System (MHS) and who desire to
enroll in the CHCBP following their loss
of eligibility or entitlement to health
care coverage in the MHS. These
beneficiaries include any person
formerly eligible for care from the MHS
according to Chapter 55 or Section
1145a of Title 10, United States Code. In
order to be eligible for health care
coverage under CHCBP, an individual
must first enroll in CHCBP. DD Form
2837 is used as the information
collection vehicle for that enrollment.
The CHCBP is a legislatively mandated
program and it is anticipated that the
program will continue indefinitely. As
such, the DoD is publishing this formal
notice.
