Under the
PRA of 1995, Federal agencies must
obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. This request for comment is
being made pursuant to Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA.
With respect to the following
collection of information, VBA invites
comments on: (1) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of VBA’s
functions, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of VBA’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information; (3) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
the use of other forms of information
technology.
Authority: Public Law 104–13; 44
U.S.C. 3501–3521.
Title: Application by Insured
Terminally Ill Person for Accelerated
Benefit Form SGLI 8284.
OMB Control Number: 2900–0618.
Type of Review: Reinstatement
without change of a previously
approved collection.
Abstract: VA has amended regulations
for the Servicemembers’ Group Life
Insurance (SGLI) and Veterans’ Group
Life Insurance (VGLI) programs to add
accelerated death benefit (Accelerated
Benefit) provisions that permit
terminally ill policyholders access to
the death benefits of their policies
before they die. Traditionally, an
individual purchases life insurance in
order to safeguard his or her dependents
against major financial loss due to his or
her death. Life insurance serves to
replace the lost income of an insured
and to provide for his or her final
expenses. In recent years, the insurance
industry has recognized the financial
needs of terminally ill policyholders
and has begun offering policies with
accelerated benefit provisions. A recent
statutory amendment (Section 302 of the
Veterans Programs Enhancement Act of
1998, Pub. L. 105–368, 112 Stat. 3315,
3332–3333) added section 1980 to Title
38, United States Code, which extends
an accelerated benefit option to
terminally ill persons insured in the
SGLI and VGLI programs. This form
expired due to high volume of work and
staffing changes.
