Needs and Uses: The continuing information collection requirement is necessary for individuals to apply for enrollment in the Continued Health Care Benefit Program (CHCBP).

Affected Public: Individuals or Households.

Annual Burden Hours: 625. Number of Respondents: 2500. Responses per Respondent: 1. Total Annual Responses: 2500. Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.

Frequency: On occasion. Respondents are individuals who are or were beneficiaries of the Military Health System (MHS) and who desire to enroll in the CHCBP following their loss of eligibility or entitlement to health care coverage in the MHS. These beneficiaries include any person formerly eligible for care from the MHS according to Chapter 55 or Section 1145a of Title 10, United States Code. In order to be eligible for health care coverage under CHCBP, an individual must first enroll in CHCBP. DD Form 2837 is used as the information collection vehicle for that enrollment. The CHCBP is a legislatively mandated program and it is anticipated that the program will continue indefinitely. As such, the DoD is publishing this formal notice.
