ensure sustained compliance with
federal privacy, security, and data
governance standards.
6. Other policy and stakeholder
considerations:
Treasury considered broader policy
interests, including the government’s
responsibility to maintain public trust
by strengthening program integrity and
reducing fraud, waste, and abuse. The
legal entity dataset supports these goals
by enhancing the federal government’s
ability to verify the legitimacy and
eligibility of entities seeking federal
payments.
Treasury also evaluated stakeholder
concerns related to privacy,
transparency, and the handling of
publicly sourced business data. The
proposed designation is supported by
established privacy assessments, risk
evaluations, and the application of
reasonable security safeguards within
the Do Not Pay Working System.
Treasury will continue to engage with
stakeholders to ensure responsible
implementation and address any
operational or privacy concerns that
may arise.
Gary Grippo,
Acting Fiscal Assistant Secretary, U.S.
Department of the Treasury.

Abstract: VA Form 21P–534EZ is
primarily used for the Fully Developed

claims, Dependency and Indemnity
Compensation (DIC), and accrued
claims. This information is used to
process a claim for DIC, Survivors
Pension, and/or Accrued Benefits by a
surviving spouse or child. Without this
information, determining entitlement
would not be possible.
VBA is undertaking an initiative to
streamline and simplify VA Form 21P–
534EZ, aiming to reduce the form’s
length and complexity by the end of
Calendar Year 2026. The primary
objectives are to enhance the experience
for Claimants, reduce the administrative
burden and time required to submit a
claim for benefits, and accommodate
preferences for submitting forms either
through VA.gov or on paper, while
preserving accessibility.
The burden has decreased since the
previous approval due to shortening of
