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% serviceconnected 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 nonserviceconnected 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 to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The Federal Register
Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on this collection
of information was published at: 86 FR
