Abstract: BJA's Public Safety Officers' Benefits (PSOB) Office will
use the PSOEA Application information to confirm the eligibility of
applicants to receive PSOEA benefits. Eligibility is dependent on
several factors, including the applicant having received or being
eligible to receive a portion of the PSOB Death Benefit, or having a
spouse or parent who received the PSOB Disability Benefit. Also
considered are the applicant's age and the schools being attended. In
addition, information to help BJA identify an individual is collected,
such as contact numbers and email addresses.
5 An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: It is estimated
that no more than 200 new respondents will apply a year. Each
application takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.
6 An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with
the collection: The estimated public burden associated with this
collection is 100 hours. It is estimated that new respondents will take
30 minutes to complete an application. The burden hours for collecting
respondent data sum to 100 hours (200 respondents x 0.5 hours = 100
hours).
