SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority: 38 U.S.C. 5121. VA 

regulated the eligibility criteria 38 CFR 

3.1000 through § 3.1010. 

Title: VA Form 21P–601, Application 

for Accrued Amounts Due a Deceased 

Beneficiary. 

OMB Control Number: 2900–0216. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: VA Form 21P–601 is used to 

gather the information necessary to 

determine a claimant’s entitlement to 

accrued benefits. Accrued benefits are 

amounts of VA benefits due, but unpaid, 

to a beneficiary at the time of his or her 

death. Benefits are paid to eligible 

survivors based on the priority 

described in 38 U.S.C. 5121(a). When 

there are no eligible survivors entitled to 

accrued benefits based on their 

relationship to the deceased beneficiary, 

the person or persons who bore the 

expenses of the beneficiary’s last illness 

and burial may claim reimbursement for 

these expenses from accrued amounts. 

No changes have been made to this 

form. The respondent burden has 

decreased due to the estimated number 

of receivables averaged over the past 

year. 

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 87 FR 

17140 on March 25, 2022, page 17140. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

Households. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 2,725 

hours. 

Estimated Average Burden per

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

5,449 per year.
