SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Supplement to VA Forms 21P-4706b, 21P-4706c and 21-4718a
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0017.

verify beneficiaries'

deposit remaining at a financial institution against a fiduciary's 
accounting. The following forms will be used to ensure claimants' 
benefits payments are administered properly.
    (a) VA Forms 21P-4706b and 4706c are used by estate to determine 
proper usage of benefits paid to fiduciaries. The 21P-4706b are both 
necessary to conform to requirement of various State courts.
    (b) VA Form 21-4718a--Fiduciaries are required to obtain 
certifications that the balances remaining on deposit in financial 
institutions as shown on accountings are correct. Certifying official 
at a financial institution completing the form must affix the 
institution's official seal or stamp. The data collected is used to 
appoint an appropriate fiduciary for a VA beneficiary and to prevent 
fiduciaries from supplying false certification, embezzling funds, and 
possibly prevent and/or identify fraud, waste and abuse of government 
funds paid to fiduciaries on behalf of VA beneficiaries.
    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 80 FR 46107 on August 3, 2015.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 17,850.
