There is no valid, recent information available in administrative databases on all enrollees’ health status, income, and their reliance upon the VA system.

VA Form 10–21034g will be used to provide the survey data on morbidity and reliance that is critical to obtaining accurate projections of VA’s ability to service veterans who are seeking VA health care services.
