D.14 ATTACHMENT K - SQUARES QUICK REFERENCES.pdf

This document is a SQUARES Quick Reference Guide for Veteran Eligibility Statuses and Description Table, published on November 6, 2019, by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The guide provides a comprehensive overview of various veteran eligibility statuses for services such as Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF), Grant Per Diem (GPD), and VA health care programs.

The guide details 10 different veteran status categories, ranging from fully eligible (Status 1-VHA Eligible) to potentially ineligible statuses. Key categories include veterans with unknown VA health care eligibility, those ineligible due to service discharge characteristics, veterans with conflicting records, those with multiple matches in VA systems, and cases where no veteran record is found. Each status is evaluated for eligibility across SSVF/GPD and VA health care/HUD-VASH programs, with specific guidance on how to determine or verify a veteran's status, such as checking DD-214 records or consulting local VA offices.
