receive payment by check. However, 31 

CFR part 208 requires individuals 

requesting one of these waiver 

conditions to submit a written

Abstract: Under the authority of 38

provided on VA Form 21P–530 to 

evaluate respondents’ eligibility for 

monetary burial benefits, including the 

burial allowance, plot or internment 

allowance, and transportation 

reimbursement. In these situations, VBA 

uses VA Form 21P–530 Application for 

Burial Benefits, to gather information 

that is necessary to determine eligibility 

for income-based benefits and the rate 

payable; without this information, 

determination of eligibility would not 

be possible. 

The program office requests removal 

of the 21P–530EZ (Under 38 U.S.C. 

Chapter 23), from the 2900–0003 series, 

as the form will be submitted as a new 

form, requiring a separate control 

number. The program office submits a 

request to reinstate VA Form 21P–530 

Application for Burial Benefits as the 

instrument has expired. 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

households.

hours. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Respondent: 15 minutes.
