The Department of Defense (DoD) is requesting public comments on a proposed information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The collection will help manage military retired pay and related payments to individuals such as spouses and beneficiaries. Comments on the necessity, accuracy, and ways to reduce the burden of this process are encouraged and must be submitted by April 1, 2021. The collection involves various forms and affects approximately 40,371 respondents with an annual burden of 7,233.1 hours.
Simple Explanation
The Defense Department wants to ask people some questions to make sure they do a good job managing money for retired soldiers and their families. They want to know if people think these questions are useful, and if there are better, easier ways to ask them, so everyone should share their thoughts by April 1, 2021.
