SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Title: Statement of Dependency of Parent(s) (VA Form 21-509)
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0089.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: VA Form 21-509 is the prescribed form used by VBA to 
gather income and dependency information from claimants who are seeking 
payment of benefits as, or for dependent parent(s). VA Form 21-509 is 
used by a Veteran seeking to establish their parent(s) as dependent(s) 
and by a surviving parent seeking death compensation. This information 
is used to determine the dependency of the parent and make 
determinations which affect the payment of monetary benefits to the 
claimant. Without this information, determination of entitlement would 
not be possible. No changes have been made to this form. The respondent 
burden has decreased due to the estimated number of receivables 
averaged over the past year.
    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 89 FR 9916 on Monday, February 12, 2024.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 3,653.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 30 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: One time.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 7,306.

    By direction of the Secretary.
Maribel Aponte,
VA PRA Clearance Officer, Office of Enterprise and Integration, Data 
Governance Analytics, Department of Veterans Affairs.
