Reduction Act of 1995. We may not conduct or sponsor, and you are not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB number. We anticipate that the
time expended by all individuals who must complete this form will average 30 minutes. This includes the time it will take to read instructions, gather the necessary facts and fill out the

no effect on any other benefits to which you may be entitled. This information is collected under the authority of Title 38 CFR Parts 51. The information requested on this form is solicited
under the authority of Title 38, U.S.C., Sections 1741, 1742, 1743, and 1745. It is being collected to enable us to determine your eligibility for medical benefits in the State Home Program

veterans' benefits, in the identification of veterans or persons claiming or receiving VA benefits and their records and may be used for other purposes where authorized by Title 38, U.S.C.,
and the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a) or where required by other statute.

SECTION 5. CLAIM FOR BASIC PER DIEM PAYMENTS FOR ELIGIBLE VETERANS
Lines 21, 22, 23 and 24:
Column A. Days of Care: A day of care for Domiciliary and Nursing Home is counted when an eligible Veteran has an overnight stay in
the facility. Enter total domiciliary days of care on line 21, nursing home care on line 22 and adult day health care on line 23.
For domiciliary: A day of care is counted when an eligible Veteran is present or on authorized absent from the facility up to
96 hours for purposes other than receiving hospital care at VA expense. If a Veteran is absent more than 96 hours, no
portion of the absence is counted as a day of care. For nursing home: A day of care is counted when the VA pays per diem
for an eligible Veteran resident on bed hold for 10 consecutive overnight hospital stays or non-hospital leave. For adult day
health care, a day of care is credited when the Veteran is under the care of the facility to include transportation for at least
six hours in one calendar day or any two periods of at least 3 hours each (but each less than six hours) in any two calendar
days in a calendar month. The day of admission is counted as a day of care. For all three levels of care, an admission and
loss on the same day is counted as a day of care; day of discharge (removed from the rolls) is not counted as a day of care.

calendar days in the month, carried to one decimal place for each level of care.

residents in the home for the month regardless of the payer source.

residents' days of care. Compute cost in accordance with cost principles set forth in the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB), "Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirement in Federal Awards" (2 CFR Part
200.400 to 475 for cost principles). To calculate the daily cost of care, divide the direct and indirect cost for the month in
column C by the sum of days of care for each level of care for all residents (line 20 non-eligible Veterans and Civilians, and
columns A of 21 through 26). For Dom - add 20A and 21A; for NHC - add 20B, 22A, and 25A; and for ADHC - add 20C,
23A, and 26A to obtain the figure to divide the direct and indirect cost for the calculation of the daily cost of care for the
month.
Column E. Per Diem Claimed: Enter the current fiscal year per diem rate or one-half the daily cost of care shown in column D carried
to two decimal places, whichever is the lesser, for each level of care. VA will pay monthly one-half of the cost of each
eligible Veteran's care (domiciliary, nursing home, or adult day health care) for each day the Veteran is in a facility
recognized as a State Veteran Home, not to exceed the approved per diem rate for that level of care.
Column F. Total Amount Claimed: Enter the product of columns A and E for each level of care on lines 21, 22, and 23. On line 24, sum
the totals for each level of care.
