    Title: Pension Claim Questionnaire for Farm Income, VA Form 21P-
4165.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0095.
    Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Abstract: 38 U.S.C. 1521 establishes a pension benefit for Veterans 
of a period of war who are permanently and totally disabled. 38 U.S.C. 
1541 and 38 U.S.C. 1542 establish a survivor's pension benefit for the 
surviving dependents of Veterans of a period of war.
    Entitlement to pension benefits for Veterans and their surviving 
dependents is based on the family's countable annual income as required 
by 38 U.S.C. 1503 and net worth as required by 38 U.S.C. 1522.
    The information collected will be used by VBA to evaluate a 
claimant's income and net worth related to the operation of a farm for 
the purpose of establishing entitlement to pension benefits and to 
evaluate a beneficiary's ongoing entitlement to pension benefits.
    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 84 FR 11166 on March 25, 2019, pages 11166
