Authorization and Certification of Entrance or Reentrance into Rehabilitation and Certification of Status

CHANGES TO VA FORM 28-1905 AUTHORIZATION AND CERTIFICATION OF ENTRANCE OR REENTRANCE INTO REHABILITATION AND CERTIFICATION OF STATUS

VA Form 28-1905 has been revised to include the VCR’s e-mail address.

The changes are noted in red:

8. NAME AND ADDRESS OF FACILITY OR SERVICE PROVIDER (Vendor)	9. SPECIFIC GUIDELINES (Restricted hours; course approved/not approved; restricted bookstore purchases; tutoring approved; etc.)
10A. NAME OF CASE MANAGER OR DESIGNEE AND ADDRESS OF REGIONAL OFFICE	10B. E-MAIL ADDRESS OF CASE MANAGER
11A. SIGNATURE OF CASE MANAGER	11B. DATE SIGNED

Item #10 – Adding “A” to the Item Number and adding Item 10B

Item #10A is where the VRC name and the regional office or out based address is recorded. The additional Item 10B is for the VRC e-mail address.

The addition of this information will not have a significant impact on the workload of VRCs. The amount of time to add the information to VA Form 28-1905 is minimal. This information will however, greatly enhance the productivity of training facilities, making direct connection with VRCs easier and quicker. The receipt of e-mail alerts by VRCs will increase the productivity of award input and changes to awards already running.
