the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of 

the burden of the proposed information 

collection; ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and ways to minimize the 

burden of the information collection on 

respondents, including through the use

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Request for Information 

Regarding Deceased Debtor; DD Form 

2840; OMB Number 0730–0015. 

Needs and Uses: The information 

collection requirement is necessary to 

obtain information on deceased debtors 

from probate courts. Probate courts 

review their records to see if an estate 

was established. They provide the name 

and address of the executor or lawyer 

handling the estate. From the 

information obtained, DFAS submits a 

claim against the estate for the amount 

due the United States. 

Affected Public: State, local, or tribal 

government. 

Annual Burden Hours: 100. 

Number of Respondents: 300. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 300. 

Average Burden per Response: 20 

minutes. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

DFAS maintains updated debt 

accounts and initiates debt collection 

action for separated military members, 

out-of-service civilian employees, and 

other individuals not on an active 

federal government payroll system. 

When notice is received that an 

individual debtor is deceased, an effort 

is made to ascertain whether the 

decedent left an estate by contacting 

clerks of probate courts. If it is 

determined that an estate was 

established, attempts are made to collect 

the debt from the estate. If no estate 

appears to have been established, the 

debt is written off as uncollectible.
