Abstract:
The consolidated DD Form 137 is being created in direct support of the updated DoD Financial Management Regulation (DoD FMR) Volume 7A, chapter 26: “Housing Allowances,” which published in May 2024. To align with the DoD FMR, this revised information collection requests calls for the retirement of current forms DD 137-3,5,6, and 7 and replacement of these forms with one consolidated form. DD Form 137 will be submitted by sponsors to apply for benefits. Benefits may include; Increase Basic Allowance for Housing, Uniformed Services Identification and Privileges Card, travel allowances, Commissary and Exchange privileges, and Morale, Welfare, and Recreation benefits. In order for the sponsor to receive benefits, the sponsor must provide proof of dependent’s support by providing the DD137, the prior year tax return or worksheet for determining financial support, and any other supporting documents required for the particular benefit being applied for.

Short Statement:
The DD-137 series of forms (DD 137-3,5,6, and 7) are being replaced with a single, consolidated DD137 form. In June 2020, the “GAO-20-335 Department of Defense” recommended the department improve the management and oversight of dependency determinations for Incapacitated Adult Children. The Defense Finance and Accounting Service recommended to improve not just the Incapacitated Adult Child dependency but all dependency types. Streamlining the documents into a single DD 137 will benefit both the applying sponsors and the adjudicators in part by reducing the burden on both parties. This decrease in burden is reflected in the updated burden estimates. Despite a general increase in the number of respondents, the time burden is estimated lower. Annual cost burden is increasing due to general inflation in hourly wages.
