Answer: I have found that the best way to notify the VA of a change in the veteran’s eligibility status is on VA Form 21-0779, which is completed by the Nursing Home. Also, this should be reported on the annual Eligibility Verification Report (EVR) due each year on March 1^st. This should be sent to the Pension Management Center in the region where the claim was adjudicated by either fax (keeping a copy of the fax transmittal) and/or through the mail return/receipt/requested.
