SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority: 38 U.S.C. 1310 & 1315. 

Title: Statement of Person Claiming to 

Have Stood in Relation to Parent (VA 

Form 21P–524). 

OMB Control Number: 2900–0059. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: 38 U.S.C 1315 established 

Dependency Indemnity Compensation 

to Parents (known as Parents’ DIC). 

Parent’s DIC is a monthly benefit 

payable to the parent(s) of a deceased 

Veteran. The payable monthly benefit is 

based on the parent’s (parents’) annual 

income. Additional funds are payable to 

the parent(s) if they are in a patient in 

a nursing home, blind, so nearly blind 

or significantly disabled as to need or 

require the regular aid and attendance of 

another person. 

38 CFR 3.59 defines the term parent 

as ‘‘ . . . a natural mother or father 

(including the mother of an illegitimate 

child or the father of an illegitimate 

child if the usual family relationship 

existed), mother or father through 

adoption, or a person who for a period 

of not less than 1 year stood in the 

relationship of a parent to a Veteran at 

any time before his or her entry into 

active service.’’ 

The information collected will be 

used by VBA to evaluate a claimant’s 

parental relationship to a deceased 

Veteran when the claimant is not the 

Veteran’s natural mother or father or 

adopted mother or father. 

This is a revision of a currently 

approved collection. The burden has 

decreased due to the number of 

receivables over the past year with no 

substantive changes. 

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 88 FR 

144 on July 28, 2023, pages 48965 and 

48966.

Title: Residency Verification Report— 

Veterans and Survivors (FL21–914). 

OMB Control Number: 2900–0655. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: Form Letter 21–914 is 

primarily used to gather information 

which is necessary to verify whether a 

veteran or beneficiary who is receiving 

benefits at the full-dollar rate based on 

U.S. residency continues to meet the 

residency requirements. Continued 

eligibility to benefits at the full-dollar 

rate cannot be determined without 

complete information about a veteran’s 

or beneficiary’s residency. 

No substantive changes have been 

made to this form. However, the burden 

estimate has decreased due to (1) a 

decrease in the number of minutes it 

takes to fill out the form, and (2) the 

respondent total has also decreased 

since the previous approval due to the 

estimated number of receivables 

averaged over the past year. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

Households. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 75 hours. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Respondent: 5 minutes. 

Frequency of Response: One time. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

900.
