PRASearch (Once at this link, you can 

enter the OMB Control Number to find 

the historical versions of this 

Information Collection). 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently 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% 

service-connected 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 nonserviceconnected and 0% service-connected 

non-compensable Veterans are able to 

defray the necessary expenses of care for 

nonservice-connected conditions. Title 

38 U.S.C. 1722A establishes the 

eligibility assessment procedures, based 

on income levels, for determining 

Veterans’ eligibility for cost-free 

medications. 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 nonserviceconnected 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). The 

10–10EC design has been revised to 

clarify the instructions and make it 

easier to understand and complete the 

form. However, there are no changes to 

the anticipated annual number of 

responses or burden hours for this 

information collection. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

Households. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 3,000 

hours. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Respondent: 90 minutes. 

Frequency of Response: Once 

annually. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

2,000.
