SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: USMC Dependency Statement
Child Born Out of Wedlock Under Age 21, NAVMC 1750-13; OMB Control
Number 0712-0010.
Needs and Uses: The information collected will be used to support
Installation/Command level and MFP-1 dependency determinations and
basic allowance housing (BAH) entitlement decisions for children under
the age of 21 born out of wedlock to non-service member guardians not
residing in the service member's household. Respondents are made aware
of this collection through MCO 1751.3 Ch1 and their Installation
Personnel Administration Center (IPAC). The respondents can obtain a
copy of the Navy/Marine Corps (NAVMC) 1750/13 through the NAVMC forms
website (https://forms.documentservices.dla.mil/order/) or from their
IPAC via email. IPAC contact information for respondents to seek
assistance with obtaining, completing, or submitting the NAVMC 1750/13
is outlined in their IPAC's Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). A
sample of the IPAC SOP is attached to this package.
The service member requesting the BAH entitlement completes
sections 1 and 2 on the digitally fillable NAVMC 1750/13 and signs the
form. The non-service member guardian of the claimed dependent
completes sections 3-12 on the NAVMC 1750/13, prints the document,
signs in the presence of a Notary Public, and has the form notarized to
officially confirm their responses. The minors themselves are not
authorized respondents. Respondents submit their completed and
notarized NAVMC 1750/13, along with any appropriate supporting
documentation related to their individual responses, via email or in
person to their IPAC personnel officer as directed by their IPAC's SOP.
Cases are typically adjudicated by the IPAC personnel officer at the
Installation/Command level and the approval decision for BAH
entitlement is communicated to the respondent telephonically. The IPAC
personnel officer elevates cases that can't be resolved at the
Installation/Command level to MFP-1 at [email protected]. MFP-1 will then
make a final determination based on the provided documentation and
reply to the IPAC personnel officer, who telephonically notifies the
respondent of the result of the dependency determination/BAH
entitlement decision.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Annual Burden Hours: 25.
Number of Respondents: 20.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 20.
Average Burden per Response: 75 minutes.
Frequency: On occasion.
The NAVMC Form 1750/13, ``USMC Dependency Statement Child Born Out
of Wedlock Under Age 21'' is needed to assist USMC Installation command
representatives and the Marine and Family Programs Division, Defense
Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System/Dependency Determination
Section (MFP-1) in properly making informed BAH entitlement
determinations for claimed children under the age of 21 born out of
wedlock to non-service member partners and who do not reside within the
household of the service member. The collection provides formal
documentation and respondent attestation of overall financial support
case facts, which is a particularly critical piece of documentation in
cases where the legitimacy of primary dependency status or service
member BAH entitlement claim is deemed questionable to the USMC.
The NAVMC 1750/13 is distributed and collected via email, and
respondents' complete sections 1-12 electronically on the fillable PDF.
The collection cannot be conducted 100% electronically, as signatures
required in section 13 must be done on a printed
[[Page 37477]]
hard copy with a Notary Public present to certify the legitimacy of the
provided information.
Dated: July 31, 2025.
