    Title, Associated Form, and OMB Number: Child Annuitant's School 
Certification, DD Form 2788; OMB Number 0730-0001.
    Needs and Uses: In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 1447 and DoD Financial 
Management Regulation, 7000.14-R, Volume 7B, a child annuitant between 
the age of 18 and 22 years of age must provide evidence of intent to 
continue study or training at a recognized educational institution. The 
certificate is required for the school semester or other period in 
which the school year is divided.
    Affected Public: Individuals.
    Annual Burden Hours: 720 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 3,600.
    Responses per Respondent: 1 each semester.
    Average Burden per Response: 12 minutes.
    Frequency: Once each semester of full time school, ages 18 to 22.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Child Annuitant's School Certification 
form is submitted to the child for completion and return to this 
agency. The child will certify as to his or her intent for future 
enrollment and a school official must certify on the past or present 
school enrollment of the child. By not obtaining school certification, 
overpayment of annuities to children would exist. This information may 
be collected from some schools which are nonprofit institutions such as 
religious institutions. If information is not received after the end of 
each school enrollment, over-disbursements of an annuity would be made 
to a child who elected not to continue further training or study.
