sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
Authority: 38 U.S.C. 1521, 1541, 1542.
Title: Supplemental Income
Questionnaire (For Philippine Claims
Only) (VA Form 21P–0784).
OMB Control Number: 2900–0668.
Type of Review: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Abstract: Eligibility to benefits may be
established based on service in the
Philippine Scouts, Commonwealth
Army of the Philippines, or recognized
guerrilla organizations (38 U.S.C. 107).
Title 38 U.S.C. 1521, 1541, and 1542
provide for payment of Pension to
eligible veterans, surviving spouses, and
surviving children. A claimant’s
eligibility for pension is determined, in
part, by countable family income and
net worth. Income information is
requested by this form under the
authority of 38 U.S.C. 1506.
VBA uses VA Form 21P–0784 to
gather income information that is
necessary to determine eligibility for
Pension benefits. Entitlement to pension
cannot be determined without complete
information about a claimant’s family
income and net worth. Claimants
residing in the Philippines have
different types of income than claimants
residing in the United States, and this
form better captures those types of
income than other VA Pension forms.
Affected Public: Individuals and
households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 30 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent: 15 minutes.
Frequency of Response: Once.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
120.
