Needs and Uses: In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 1447 and DoD Financial
Management Regulation, 7000.14-R, Volume 7B, a child annuitant between
the age of 18 and 22 years of age must provide evidence of intent to

certificate is required for the school semester or other period in
which the school year is divided.

Number of Respondents: 3,600.
Responses Per Respondent: 1 each semester.
Average Burden Per Response: 12 minutes.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Summary of Information Collection
The Child Annuitant's School Certification form is submitted to the
child for completion and returned to this agency. The child will
certify as to his or her intent for future enrollment and a school
official must certify on the past or present school enrollment of the
child. By not obtaining school certification, overpayment of annuities
to children would exist. This information may be collected from some
schools which are non-profit institutions such as religious
institutions. If information is not received after the end of each
school enrollment, over-disbursements of an annuity would be made to a
child who elected not to continue further training or study.
