Abstract: The VA Survey of Veteran 

Enrollees’ Health and Use of Health 

Care gathers information from Veterans 

enrolled in the VA Health Care System 

about factors that influence their health 

care utilization choices. The original 

authority for this information collection 

is from Public Law 104, Section 262, 

Veterans’ Health Care Eligibility Reform 

Act of 1996. Data collected are used to 

gain insights into Veteran preferences 

and to provide VA and Veterans Health 

Administration (VHA) management 

guidance in preparing for future Veteran 

needs. In addition to factors influencing 

health care choices, the data collected 

include enrollees’ perceived health 

status and need for assistance, available 

insurances, self-reported utilization of 

VA services versus other health care 

services, reasons for using VA, barriers 

to seeking care, ability and comfort level 

with accessing virtual care, as well as 

general demographics and family 

characteristics that may influence 

utilization but cannot be accessed 

elsewhere. Based upon historical 

program data, the survey has been 

revised to remove some questions and 

add other questions, and certain 

questions are asked only in alternating 

years. Further, the target sample of 

respondents has been decreased to 

reduce costs and reduce burden on 

Veterans. while maintaining the 

integrity of the data. Information 

provided through the survey supports 

critical VA policy decisions. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

Households. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 13,333 

hours. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Respondent: 20 minutes. 

Frequency of Response: Once 

annually. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

40,000. 

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
