SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Dependency Statements; 
Parent (DD Form 137-3), 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.
    Type of Request: Revision.
    Number of Respondents: 14,975.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 14,975.
    Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 7,487.50.
    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, 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 decreased the possibility of 
monetary allowances being approved on behalf of ineligible dependents.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet Seehra.
