SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

    Authority:  38 U.S.C. 103.

    Title: Supporting Statement Regarding Marriage (VA Form 21P-4171).
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0115.
    Type of Review: Reinstatement without change of a previously 
approved collection.
    Abstract: 38 U.S.C. 103 requires a marital relationship to be 
established before benefits may be paid to, or for, a spouse of a 
Veteran. VA codified this requirement at 38 CFR 3.1(j), which states 
``a marriage valid under the law of the place where the parties resided 
at the time of marriage, or the law of the place where the parties 
resided when the right to benefits accrued.''
    The information requested under this collection is necessary to 
establish the common-law marriage of a Veteran and the dependency of 
the Veteran's common-law spouse for the purpose of paying monetary 
benefits.
    VBA utilizes VA Form 21P-4171 to collect information from third-
parties regarding claimed common-law marriage between Veterans and 
spouses/surviving spouses. VBA uses the information collected to 
determine whether or not the claimed common-law marriage is valid under 
the law of the place where the parties resided at the time of marriage, 
or the law of the place where the parties resided when the right to 
benefits accrued, to comply with 38 CFR 3.1(j) and pay monetary 
benefits.
    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 82 FR 44032 on September 20, 2017.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 800 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 20 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: One time.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,400.

    By direction of the Secretary.
Cynthia Harvey-Pryor,
Department Clearance Officer, Office of Quality, Privacy and Risk,
