# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

*Authority:*44 U.S.C. 3501-3521.                

*Title:*                     Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) (VA Form 10-10CG).                

*OMB Control Number:*                     2900-0768.                

*Type of Review:*                     Revision of a currently approved collection.                

*Abstract:*                     Authority for this information collection is found in Public Law (Pub. L.) 111-163, Caregivers and Veterans Omnibus Health Services Act of 2010, as amended in title 38 United States Code chapter 17 by adding a new section, 1720G, “Assistance and Support Services for Caregivers.” Section 1720G required the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to develop a Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers and Support Services. Under the law, Primary Family Caregivers may be eligible to receive a stipend, access to health care coverage, mental health counseling, comprehensive caregiver education and training, and expanded respite services. Caregivers also may be eligible for travel benefits when they accompany the Veteran for care or attending training.                

In order to administer these benefits to caregivers, it is necessary that the VA receive information about the nature of benefit being sought and the persons who will be serving as caregivers and receiving benefits. This information is collected with VA Form 10-10CG, which is currently approved under Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number 2900-0768. VA requests a three-year renewal of the PRA clearance for 10-10CG from OMB to continue with the collection of this information, which is necessary to administer VA's Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC).

                    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.
