				  families move and want their loved one close by, or when the next of kin was
				  not aware that the person had purchased a plot in a different cemetery), and
				  with the prior written authorization of the Cemetery Director responsible for
				  the cemetery involved. Disinterment from a state veterans cemetery will be
				  approved only when all living immediate family members of the decedent, and the
				  person who initiated the interment (whether or not he or she is a member of the
				  immediate family), give their written consent, or when a court order directs
				  the disinterment. For purposes of this section, "immediate family members" are
				  defined as surviving spouse, whether or not he or she is remarried; all adult
				  children of the decedent; the appointed guardian(s) of minor children; and the
				  appointed guardian(s) of the surviving spouse or of the adult child(ren) of the
				  decedent. If the surviving spouse and all of the children of the decedent are
				  deceased, the decedent's parents will be considered "immediate family
				  members."
(b) Requests for
				  disinterment must be submitted on Form VSD-003, Request for Disinterment (dated
				  June 2016), which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety, and

				  statement of reasons for the proposed disinterment.
(2) Notarized statement(s) by all living
				  immediate family members of the decedent, and the person who initiated the
				  interment (whether or not he or she is a member of the immediate family), that
				  they consent to the proposed disinterment.

				  requesting the disinterment that those who supplied affidavits comprise all the

California Code of Regulations › Title 12 - Military and Veterans Affairs › Division 2 - Department of Veterans Affairs › Chapter 4 - Veterans' Home of California › Section 505.3 - Priorities for Admissions

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) The
				Veterans Home shall admit veterans on a first come, first served basis subject
				to the limitations or requirements of Sections
				980
				and
				1012
				of the Military and Veterans Code.
(b) The Veterans Home shall evaluate requests
				for an urgent or priority admission date with special emphasis to be unbiased
				with respect to the state veteran population breakdown (in terms of ethnicity
				and geographic location), and to take into account age as well as socioeconomic
				needs.
An urgent or priority admission is defined as an admission
				  granted as an exception to the Veterans Home waiting list as described in
				  Section 502.2. The Veterans Home shall
				  review each application for an urgent or priority admission for the following
				  factors:
(1) Social, economic
				hardship, age, and disability needs. Examples of social factors are the
				veteran's:
a. ability to handle living
				together in a group situation;
b.
				ability to get along well with others;
c. willingness to accept counseling
				services;
d. needs for
				companionship.
The economic factors considered are whether a hardship exists
				  for the veteran living outside the Home that could be eliminated by Home
				  membership or whether the cost of the veteran's health care outside the Home is
				  greater. For example, with all other factors being equal, a homeless veteran's
				  request for urgent admission shall receive the higher preference.
Section
				  1012
				  of the Military and Veterans Code states that the Home is for aged and disabled
				  persons who served in the armed forces of the United States, therefore in
				  considering requests for an urgent or priority admission date, with all other
				  factors being equal, the older veterans (age 62 and higher) shall receive the
				  higher preference.
With respect to a veteran's disability, the Veterans Home
				  shall evaluate whether the Home has the proper facilities to service the
				  veteran's disability needs.

				evaluation shall be kept. If the appointment is not kept and the Veterans Home

				the waiting list and place the applicant's file in the application inactive
				file. To be reconsidered the applicant shall contact the Home by writing a
				letter requesting to reschedule the pre-admission evaluation. The Veterans Home
				shall schedule the evaluation notifying the applicant in writing of the date
				and time. If waiting lists are still in effect at the time the veteran's letter
				is received, then the Veterans Home shall again place the applicant's name on
				the waiting list.
(e) If an
				applicant is scheduled for admission for one level of care, and during the
				pre-admission evaluation it is determined that there has been change in level
				of care needs, then the Veterans Home shall admit the applicant to the level of
				care most suited to those needs.
(f) The Veterans Home shall not conduct a
