SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Pension Claim Questionnaire for Farm Income, VA Form 21P-
4165.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0095.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), through its 
Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA), administers an integrated 
program of benefits and services, established by law, for veterans, 
service personnel and their survivors.
    38 U.S.C. 1521 establishes a pension benefit for Veterans of a 
period of war who are permanently and totally disabled. 38 U.S.C. 1541 
and 38 U.S.C. 1542 establish a survivor's pension benefit for the 
surviving dependents of Veterans of a period of war. Entitlement to 
pension benefits for Veterans and their surviving dependents is based 
on the family's countable annual income as required by 38 U.S.C. 1503 
and net worth as required by 38 U.S.C. 1522.
    The information collected on VA Form 21P-4165 will be used by VA to 
evaluate a claimant's income and net worth related to the operation of 
a farm for the purpose of establishing entitlement to pension benefits 
and to evaluate a beneficiary's ongoing entitlement to pension 
benefits.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 1,038 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 30 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: One time.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,075.

    By direction of the Secretary:
Cynthia Harvey-Pryor,
Program Specialist, Office of Privacy and Records Management, 
Department of Veterans Affairs.
