Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 166 / Tuesday, August 29, 2023 / Notices
Improvement Act of 2017, which
requires VA to pay State Veteran Homes
(SVHs) for medical model adult day
health care provided to certain eligible
Veterans; and Public Law 116–315,
section 3007, Waiver of Requirements of
Department of Veterans Affairs for
Receipt of Per Diem Payments for
Domiciliary Care at State Homes and
Modification of Eligibility for such
Payments. This information collection
also enables the payment of per diem to
State homes that provide care to eligible
Veterans in accordance with title 38,
CFR part 51. The intended effect of
these provisions is to create a safeguard
that Veterans are receiving a high
quality of care in SVHs.
To ensure that high quality care is
furnished to Veterans, VA requires those
facilities providing nursing home care,
domiciliary care, and adult day health
care programs to Veterans to supply
various kinds of information. The
information required includes an
application and justification for
payment; records and reports that
facility management must maintain
regarding payment activities of residents
or participants; and records and reports
that facilities management and health
care professionals must maintain
regarding eligible residents or
participants. The following three forms
are included in this information
collection:
a. VA Form 10–5588: State Home
Report and Statement of Federal Aid
Claimed—38 CFR 51, 52 and title 38
U.S.C. 1741, 1742, 1743 and 1745—is
used to assess and provide per diem to
State homes. This collection instrument
is used by the State home employees
and VA Staff.
b. VA Form 10–5588A: Claim for
Increased Per Diem Payment for
Veterans Awarded Retroactive Service
Connection—38 CFR 51, 52 and title 38
U.S.C. 1741, 1742, 1743 and 1745—is
used to assess and provide per diem to
State homes retroactively. This
collection instrument is used by the
State home employees and VA Staff.
c. VA Form 10–10SH: State Home
Program Application for Veterans Care
Medical Certification—38 CFR 51, 52
and title 38 U.S.C. 1741, 1742, 1743 and
1745—provides for the collection of
information to apply for the benefits of
this program.
The State Home Per Diem (SHPD)
Program recently automated the 10–
10SH form. The form was converted
into a web-based, fillable form that can

be electronically submitted from the
SVH to the appropriate VAMC. It
includes data field validation, assuring
that all required fields have been filled
before the user can electronically submit
the 10–10SH form. The VA portion of
the application also includes business
rules to assist the VA representatives in
making uniform determinations, allow
the VA representative to return
incomplete applications to the SVH
along with a notification to them, and
record receipt of the completed
application.
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
