This collection uses NAVMC Form 1750/13, “USMC Dependency Statement Child Born Out of Wedlock Under Age 21,” to provide a standardized method to document financial support and other case facts. To complete the collection, the service member and the child's non-service member guardian complete their respective sections of the form, which the guardian must then have notarized before submission. The information is used by USMC Installation command representatives and the Marine and Family Programs Division (MFP-1) to make informed and legitimate dependency determinations, which is particularly critical in cases where the claim to BAH is questionable. This collection is mandated by the DoD Financial Management Regulation 7000.14-R, Vol. 7A, Ch. 26 and Marine Corps Order 1751.3. Without this collection, the USMC would lack the necessary documentation to validate dependency claims, potentially leading to incorrect BAH payments and an inability to fulfill its administrative responsibilities under DoD policy. <E T="03">Affected Public:</E> Individuals or households. <E T="03">Frequency:</E> On occasion. <E T="03">Respondent's Obligation:</E> Required to Obtain or Retain Benefits. <E T="03">DOD Clearance Officer:</E> Mr. Reginald Lucas. <SIG> <DATED>Dated: January 28, 2026.</DATED> <NAME>Stephanie J.
