collection may be located within this

instructions at http:// 

www.regulations.gov for submitting

(216) 204–4377. 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Dependency Statements; 

Parent (DD Form 137–3), Child Born 

Out of Wedlock Under Age 21 (DD Form 

137–4), Incapacitated Child Over Age 21 

(DD Form 137–5), Full Time Student 

21–22 Years of Age (DD Form 137–6), 

and Ward of a Court (DD Form 137–7); 

OMB Control Number 0730–0014. 

Needs and Uses: The information 

collection requirement is necessary to 

certify dependency or obtain 

information to determine entitlement to 

basic allowance for housing (BAH) with 

dependent rate, travel allowance, or 

uniformed services identification and 

privilege card. Information regarding a 

parent, a child born out-of-wedlock, an 

incapacitated child over age 21, a 

student age 21–22, or a ward of a court 

is provided by the military member. A 

medical doctor or psychiatrist, college 

administrator, or a dependent’s 

employer may need to provide 

information for claims. Pursuant to 37 

U.S.C. 401, 403, 406, and 10 U.S.C. 1072 

and 1076, the member must provide 

more than one half of the claimed 

dependent’s monthly expenses. 

DoDFMR 7000.14–R, Vol. 7A, defines 

dependency and directs that 

dependency be proven. Dependency 

claim examiners use the information 

from these forms to determine the 

degree of benefits. The requirement to 

provide the information decreases the 

possibility of monetary allowances 

being approved on behalf of ineligible 

dependents. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households 

Annual Burden Hours: 17,474 

Number of Respondents: 15,766 

Responses Per Respondent: 1.33 on 

average 

Average Burden Per Response: 50 

minutes 

Frequency: On occasion 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Summary of Information Collection 

When military members apply for 

benefits, they must complete the form 

which corresponds to the particular 

dependent situation (a parent, a child 

born out-of-wedlock, an incapacitated 

child over age 21, a student age 21–22, 

or a ward of a court). While members 

usually complete these forms, they can 

also be completed by others considered 

members of the public. Dependency 

claim examiners use the information 

from these forms to determine the 

degree of benefits. Without this 

collection of information, proof of an 

entitlement to a benefit would not exist. 

The requirement to complete these 

forms helps alleviate the opportunity for 

fraud, waste, and abuse of dependent 

benefits.
