PL:
Pub.L. 109 - 461 211(a)(5)
Name of Law: Veterans Benefits, Health Care, and Information Technology - Modification to State Home Authorities
VA Form 10-5588A was developed as requested by State Homes to reduce burden hours in completing a payment claim for multiple Veterans.
VA also clarified the wording for Form 10-10SH in the VA authorization for payment section. The revision to VA Form 10-10SH and addition of an instruction sheet enables the State Home Program Office to improve the language in the revised data fields of the administrative and clinical authorization section and reduces the likelihood of errors leading improper payments. Also, with inclusion of an automated 10-10SH system, significant reliance on manual data entry and manual verification of processing no longer has a negative affect on the accuracy of ensuring the form is completed as required and determining Veteran eligibility to receive per diem payments.
