The Act is directed at: A. The purchase, processing, and distribution of benefits and services. B. The operation of the Veterans Benefits Administration. What is the most important benefit to veterans that is being covered by the Act? The most significant benefit to veterans and first responders is the extension on cost share payments for VA health care. How does VA want to carry out its responsibilities? At some point, VA must complete the process of obtaining and issuing a Federal determination of entitlement as needed. Why is that important? An estimated 75 percent of all VA health care is paid for by the Department of Defense, through a cost share and/or risk adjustment mechanism. Under the Department of Defense's cost share plan, beneficiaries in certain VA health care facilities with higher service-related costs (for example, veterans with complex pain conditions) pay a higher fraction of their health-related care costs. VA and DOD negotiated this cost share system after the 1993 amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act. The total cost share payments to veterans for VA-insurance policies are estimated at 10 to 12 percent of the total cost of VA-insurance coverage per beneficiary. What does this accomplish with regard to the cost of benefits? For some veterans, a VA cost share payment helps defray the higher costs of health care provided through health care providers or services funded by the Department of Defense. For other veterans, it enables them to choose a VA health care provider or service that can provide the highest level of care. Is the VA planning to provide any additional benefits for all veterans? Yes. The VA has announced plans to extend cost share payments to veterans with certain mental and behavioral health conditions who are transitioning from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

During a health care claim Before you start a work opportunity After you leave or change jobs After you join the VA and move within the VA system Any time you have a claim pending before a VA administrative law judge What time of the day is it? When do I need to complete VA 22-1995? The process begins at the VA's National Processing Center. When you start the process on a new VA computer, you would first need to choose a date and time. You would then need to select the processing center that holds your claim: After a new claim is processed, you are notified of the date and time you need to complete VA 22-1995. For more information about VA 22-1995, refer to VA 22-1995. What are the steps involved in completing VA 22-1995? Is there any wait time? After VA 22-1995 is issued: The first step is to choose which process, “claim processing” or “claim adjudication,” you want to complete. VA processes claims in a random priority order. The VA has a priority list of claims that it will process first. If you have waited to begin a process such as an appeal or administrative law judge, it will not be processed before the priority claim process is complete. In general, you will have a 30-day grace period if you need to submit further documentation for your claim. For example, if you have not filed a claim with the Board of Veterans' Appeals, you will have a 30-day grace period to complete the appeal. If you do not submit an appeal form by the 30-day grace period, you will automatically have your claim adjudicated; however, the decision you were ordered to receive is your only remedy. Therefore, you may be entitled to a monetary judgment to be paid to you. If you are not satisfied with a VA decision on your claim, or with a decision rendered by a VA administrative law judge, you can appeal that decision to a Federal court or appeals court. The second step is to enter your claim number if you chose an “advanced claim form” with form 22-1995. VA 22-1995 is not available for automated services (e.g., the Health Care Data Query Tool or VA Web Access). You, the claimant, must enter your VA number manually, via an Internet portal.

You will need to choose the right answer for which you are applying. Note that the information on this page has been modified by our service center. This page should be reviewed frequently due to changes in VA policy and regulations, as well as in service center practices. What's the difference between “non-dischargeable” and “dischargeable” service-connected disability compensation? In general, the VA will pay in one of three ways: Dischargeable service-connected disability compensation will provide compensation for life or for a specific number of years of life, or for a specified disability-service connection and other limitations, whichever is longer. If you are receiving dischargeable compensation, you may not also receive Dischargeable Service-Connected Compensation. Therefore, you may have different eligibility criteria for these two compensation programs. Service-connected disability compensated means that the person who developed the condition has a record of service connected disability with a VA health care provider. The conditions which were caused by service-connected disability compensation may also affect other eligible disabilities. Service-connected disability does not mean that the affected individual was ever on active duty in any branch of the military, or that the condition was caused by the activity of military service.

There are many questions. First, how many people fill out 22-1995? Answer: Since December 2008, there have been about 5 million completed Veterans' Applications for Benefits (VA 22-1995) filed by active VA service members and their dependents. The VA 22-1995 number will increase in the future—we don't know what number it will be in 2030. What it does not reflect is the amount of people who did not fill out the form. More than 11,000 completed Applications are considered by VA and many other federal agencies as noncompliant, even though they all appear on all 22-1995 forms. When you finish getting your benefits, if you have more than one form, get a copy of the most recent 22-1995 filed for you and keep a copy for your records. There are two other forms that should be taken—the DD-214 and the DD-224. Your DD-214 is a copy of the papers you sent the VA while applying for the benefit, and your DD-224 is a copy of the papers your VA filed when you received your benefits. (See Appendix C for copy sizes and instructions in these two forms.) What are the types of problems that occur when you finish your benefits? There are several possible problems. There is the problem of an incomplete (over) application, which is usually the case when you receive a duplicate form or when some information was submitted while you were still awaiting an answer (over application). There is the problem of incorrect beneficiary information, which results either from an incorrect address or a false one. Sometimes people make mistakes in writing (typing) the information on the DD-214 and DD-224. To correct it, you must complete an Application Review Application (ARP-17) and submit it to VA. (See Appendix B for copy sizes of the pages in these forms and instructions for how to use them.) You may also be given the false impression that your application is approved or rejected. Your claim for benefits will most likely not be denied (it will be “continued”), but VA probably will require you to complete and submit a new application (ARP-21). This is why it is the best if completed Applications are submitted to VA before your DD-214 and DD-224 are ready to be processed. After your DD-214 and DD-224 are processed, you can file an application to request a hearing with VA.

I'm just curious. I've been following the threads here for a couple of years now, and as much as I'd like the information, the dates have been a source of disappointment. As to the due date: The answer is no, not a definite date; the official position of VA is to provide the information by April 1, 1996. But when will it be available? VA is making the first move, to provide information on its Website. I'm not certain how you can get more information, other than on-line. I've asked a couple of people who work in the VA; they said they don't have anyone to tell me. Why do Veterans Service Organization organizations in general, not just the SOS in the United States, have a policy of not releasing information to the public about what their programs are up to? VA is aware that Veterans service organizations, generally speaking and not just the SOS, in the United States, have a policy of withholding information about their programs from the public. But VA has not determined if this policy has any relevance to its programs. Why do Veteran organizations in general, not just SOS in the United States, have a policy of not releasing information to the public about what their programs are up to? I cannot say whether this policy has any relevance to VA programs. I will say that SOS do not consider a lack of public disclosure about their programs to be inappropriate since that information is of great value to the public when looking at an organization's activities and accomplishments. However, at VA, the policy does not seem to apply to the extent that VA is obligated to release all or most of the information requested. There is a question, however, whether the information withheld is relevant. We will have to have an ongoing discussion about this, and I hope VA does not decide that withholding information will be appropriate in every case. Has there been anything in the past 12 months that has caused you to be more aware of the need for transparency/inclusion with respect to your records? If so, what? Nothing that I am aware of, but I will certainly take notes! I'm getting confused with all the different questions about “VA policy” vs. “VA policy.” I am in possession of a lot of confidential VA information that I would like to release to a journalist.
