SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501–3521. 

Title: Application for Extended Care 

Services, VA Form 10–10EC. 

OMB Control Number: 2900–0629. 

Type of Review: Reinstatement of a 

previously approved collection. 

Abstract: Title 38 U.S.C. Chapter 17 

authorizes VA to provide hospital care, 

medical services, domiciliary care, and 

nursing home care to eligible Veterans. 

Title 38 U.S.C. 1705 requires VA to 

design, establish and operate a system of 

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
