SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501-3521.
Title: Application for Extended Care Services, VA Form 10-10EC.
OMB Control Number: 2900-0629.
Type of Review: Reinstatement of a previously approved collection.
Abstract: Title 38 U.S.C. Chapter 17 authorizes VA to provide
hospital care, medical services, domiciliary care, and nursing home
care to eligible Veterans. Title 38 U.S.C. 1705 requires VA to design,
establish and operate a system of annual patient enrollment in
accordance with a series of stipulated priorities. A consequence of
this is that many groups of Veterans who are in a lower priority group
(WWI Veterans, Veterans with disabilities rated as 0% service-connected
seeking treatment for other than their service-connected conditions,
Veterans exposed to a toxic substance, radiation, or environmental
hazard and nonservice-connected Veterans) may request that they be
allowed to be income tested in order to gain a higher priority. Title
38 U.S.C. 1722 establishes eligibility assessment procedures for cost-
free VA medical care, based on income levels, which will determine
whether nonservice-connected and 0% service-connected non-compensable
Veterans are able to defray the necessary expenses of care for
nonservice-connected conditions. Title 38 U.S.C. 1722A establishes the
eligibility assessment procedures, based on income levels, for
determining Veterans' eligibility for cost-free medications and Title
38 U.S.C. 1710B defines the procedures for establishing eligibility for
cost-free Extended Care benefits. Title 38 U.S.C. 1729 authorizes VA to
recover from Veterans' health insurance carriers the cost of care
furnished for their nonservice-connected conditions.
VA Form 10-10EC, Application for Extended Care Services, is used to
collect financial information necessary to determine a Veteran's
copayment obligation for extended care services, also known as long
term care (LTC).
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
