SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
[top] Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Application for Former Spouse Payments from Retired Pay, DD Form 2293; OMB Number 0730-0008.
Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary to provide DFAS with the basic data needed to process court orders for division of military retired pay as property or order alimony and child support payment from that retired pay per title 10 U.S.C. 1408.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Annual Burden Hours: 12,500.
Number of Respondents: 25,000.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 25,000.
Average Burden per Response : 30 minutes.
Frequency: On occasion.
The respondents to this information collection are spouses or former spouses (herein referred to as applicant) of military members who access the form through the DoD forms website. The applicant submits through U.S. Mail Service or by fax a DD Form 2293, "Application for Former Spouse Payments from Retired Pay," to DFAS and a copy of a court order that requires the division of a member's military retired pay, or orders the member to make monthly payment of either child support or alimony. The information from the DD Form 2293 is used by DFAS to process the applicant's request as authorized under title 10 U.S.C. 1408.
The information is required to properly identify the former spouse applicant and identify the service member, whose retired pay is to be deducted, by name, address and social security number. The DD Form 2293 was devised to standardize applications for payment under the Act. Information on the form is also used to determine the applicant's current status and contains the statutory required certifications the applicant/former spouse must make when applying for payments.
After the application is reviewed for sufficiency, the application and the military member are advised whether the application will be honored or rejected, any further documentation needed, and if applicable, notifies when payments to the former spouse will be implemented by mail. The mail templates used to notify applicant if application is being honored or rejected will be submitted as part of the collection package.
