‘‘OMB Control No. 2900–0160’’ in any
correspondence.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501–21.
Title: State Home Programs for
Veterans (VA Forms 10–5588, 10–
5588A, and 10–10SH).
OMB Control Number: 2900–0160.
Type of Review: Reinstatement with
change of a previously approved
collection.
Abstract: Congress passed Public Law
115–159, the State Veterans Home Adult
Day Health Care Improvement Act of
2017, requiring VA to pay State homes
for medical model adult day health care
to certain eligible Veterans, and Title 38,
CFR part 52, which provides for the
payment of per diem to State homes that
provide adult day health care to eligible
Veterans. It also continues to provide for
the payment of per diem to State homes
that provide care to eligible Veterans in
accordance with Title 38, CFR part 51.
The intended effect of these provisions
is to provide a safeguard that Veterans
are receiving high quality care in State
homes.
This information collection is
necessary to ensure that VA per diem
payments are limited to facilities
providing high quality care. To verify
this level of care, VA requires those
facilities providing nursing home care,
domiciliary, and adult day health care
programs to Veterans to supply various
kinds of information. The information
required includes an application/
eligibility for admission and
justification for payment; records and
reports which facility management must
maintain regarding activities of payment
for eligible residents or participants; and
the records and reports that facilities
management and health care
professionals must maintain regarding
the level of care approved for residents
or participants.
This OMB Control Number previously
included six additional forms, VA
Forms 10–0460, 10–0143, 10–0143A,
10–0144, 10–0144A, and 10–3567,
which have now been separated out into
another information collection (to be
approved under a separate OMB Control
Number). This information collection,
under OMB Control Number 2900–0160,
now includes only three forms: VA
Forms 10–5588, 10–5588A, and 10–
10SH.
a. VA Form 10–5588: State Home
Report and Statement of Federal Aid
Claimed—38 CFR 51, 52 and Title 38,
U.S.C., Sections 1741, 1742, 1743 and

diem to State homes. This collection is
used by the State home employees and
VA Staff.
