M28C.III.A.1 M28C.III.A.1 Case Status System

a. Purpose

(Change Date July 2, 2014)

Each case status represents different phases in a Chapter 31 claimant’s rehabilitation program. The statuses are organized in stages, which track information concerning a claimant’s progress in completing the various phases of his or her vocational rehabilitation program. This case status system provides the mechanism to identify actions to move a case to a new status at each phase of the claimant's rehabilitation program, which ensures claimants are provided appropriate and timely rehabilitation services.

b. Structure

(Change Date March 31, 2014)

The VR&E case status system is composed of nine statuses as follows:

• (01) Applicant (APP) Status
• (02) Evaluation and Planning (EP) Status
• (03) Extended Evaluation (EE) Status
• (04) Independent Living (IL) Status
• (05) Rehabilitation To the point of Employability (RTE) Status
• (06) Job Ready (JR) Status
• (07) Rehabilitated (REH) Status
• (08) Interrupted (INT) Status
• (09) Discontinued (DIS) Status

c. Responsibilities

(Change Date July 2, 2014)

The assigned case manager is responsible for appropriately updating the case statuses in Corporate WINRS (CWINRS). The case manager must follow the procedures for updating case statuses provided in section 1.02 of this chapter.

The Veteran Readiness & Employment (VR&E) Officer must ensure strict adherence in updating case statuses for consistency in data entry, accuracy in generated reports, and data integrity.

1.02 Procedures for Updating Case Status

(Change Date June 18, 2020)

A claimant’s rehabilitation program is assigned in each appropriate status to determine progress in his or her program. Each case status identifies a specific phase of the claimant’s program participation.

A Detailed Reason Code (DRC) may also be assigned to an RC to indicate an additional explanation for the change. Refer to Appendix DO, Chapter 31 Reason Code/Detailed Reason Code.
