SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OPM uses the information collected through the RI 25-7 form to determine whether
widows, widowers, and former spouses receiving survivor annuities from OPM have remarried
before reaching age 55 and, thus, are no longer eligible for benefits. OPM sends out RI 25-7
forms once each year to survivor annuitants who were not age 55 on the date the previous survey
ended.
As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13) as amended (44
U.S.C. chapter 35), OPM is soliciting comments for this collection (OMB No. 3206-0033). The
Office of Personnel Management is particularly interested in comments that:
1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of functions of the agency, including whether the information will have
practical utility;
2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection
of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond,
including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g.,
permitting electronic submissions of responses.
