U.S.C. 3501–3521.
Title: Joint Application for
Comprehensive Assistance and Support
Services for Family Caregivers, VA
Form 10–10CG.
OMB Control Number: 2900–0768.
Type of Review: Reinstatement with

collection.
Abstract: Public Law (Pub. L.) 111–
163, Caregivers and Veterans Omnibus
Health Services Act of 2010 amended
title 38 United States Code chapter 17
by adding a new section, 1720G,
‘‘Assistance and Support Services for
Caregivers.’’ Section 1720G requires the
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to
develop a Program of Comprehensive
Assistance and Support Services for
Family Caregivers. Under the law,
primary family caregivers may be
eligible to receive a stipend, access to
health care coverage, mental health
counseling, comprehensive caregiver
education and training and expanded
respite services. Caregivers also may be
eligible for travel benefits when they
accompany the Veteran for care or
attending training. In order to
administer these benefits to caregivers,
it is necessary that the VA receive
information about the nature of benefit
being sought and the persons who will
be serving as caregivers and receiving
benefits. The information collected will
be used to determine if a post-9/11
Veteran or active duty service member
undergoing medical discharge qualifies
for Caregiver Support Services and
whether the individuals designated to
serve as primary or secondary family
caregivers meet VA’s criteria for these
roles.
Affected Public: Individuals and
households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 4,125
hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent: 15 minutes.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
16,500.
By direction of the Secretary.
Danny S. Green,
Interim VA Clearance Officer, Office of
Quality, Performance and Risk (OQPR),
Department of Veterans Affairs.
