About this file

This is a template form for requesting extensions of per diem payments for veterans in contract residential care under the VA New York/New Jersey Health Care Network's Health Care for Homeless Veterans (HCHV) program, associated with RFQ 36C24226Q0118.

Part I of the form is completed by the contractor and requires documentation of the veteran's identifying information (name, Social Security number, facility name, contract number, and admission date), the specific reason(s) for requesting the per diem extension beyond the standard 180-day limit, and the veteran's housing plan with expected departure date. The contractor representative must sign and date the request and submit it to the HCHV Coordinator/VA Liaison as soon as the need for extension becomes known. Part II is completed by the VA HCHV Coordinator/VA Liaison and requires evaluation of four specific criteria: whether extenuating clinical circumstances beyond the contractor's control exist as barriers to housing placement; whether documented evidence shows the contractor has exhausted all efforts to place the veteran in housing sooner; whether the VA Liaison has been appropriately advised of these efforts well in advance of the 180-day limit; and whether the VA Liaison concurs that the veteran will continue to derive therapeutic benefits from continued stay at the facility. The VA Liaison must then recommend approval or denial to the Contracting Officer's Technical Representative (COTR), who makes the final determination on whether to grant per diem continuation and establishes the extension end date and next review date.
