PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT AND PRIVACY ACT NOTICE
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 requires us to notify you that this information collection is in accordance with the clearance requirements of section 3507 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. We may not conduct or sponsor, and you are not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB number. We anticipate that the time expended by all individuals who must complete this form will average 30 minutes. This includes the time it will take to read instructions, gather the necessary facts and fill out the form.
AUTHORITY: The information requested on the attached application form and Authorization for Release of Information is solicited under Title 38, United States Code, Chapters 73 and 74.
PURPOSES AND USES: The information requested on the application is collected primarily to determine your qualifications and suitability for employment. If you are employed by the VA, the information will be used to make pay and benefit determinations and, as necessary, in personnel administration processes carried out in accordance with established regulations and the published notice of the system of records "Applicants for Employment under Title 38, U.S.C.-VA" (02VA135)
ROUTINE USES: Information on the form or the form itself may be released without your prior consent outside the VA to another Federal, State or local agency, to the National Practitioner Data Bank which is administered by the Department of Health and Human Services, to State licensing boards, and/or appropriate professional organizations or agencies to assist the VA in determining your suitability for hiring and for employment, to periodically verify, evaluate and update your clinical privileges and licensure status, to report apparent or potential violations of law, to provide statistical data upon proper request, or to provide information to a Congressional office in response to an inquiry made at your request. Such information may also be released without your prior consent to Federal agencies, State licensing boards, or similar boards or entities, in connection with the VA's reporting of information concerning your separation or resignation as a professional staff member under circumstances which raise serious concerns about your professional competence. Information concerning payments related to malpractice claims and adverse actions which affect clinical privileges also may be released to State licensing boards and the National Practitioner Data Bank. The information you supply may be verified through a computer matching program at any time.
EFFECTS OF NON-DISCLOSURE: See statement below concerning disclosure of your social security number. Disclosure of the other information is voluntary; however, failure to provide this information may delay or make impossible the proper application of Civil Service rules and regulations and VA personnel policies and thus may prevent you from obtaining employment, employees benefits, or other entitlements.
INFORMATION REGARDING DISCLOSURE OF YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER UNDER PUBLIC LAW 93-579 SECTION 7(b)
Disclosure of your SSN (social security number) is mandatory to obtain the employment and related benefits that you are seeking. Solicitation of the SSN is authorized under the provisions of Executive Order 9397, dated November 22, 1943. The SSN is used as an identifier throughout your Federal career from the time of application through retirement. It will be used primarily to identify your records. The SSN also will be used by Federal agencies in connection with lawful requests for information about you from your former employers, educational institutions, and financial or other organizations. The information gathered through the use of the number will be used only as necessary in personnel administration processes carried out in accordance with established regulations and published notices of systems of records. The SSN also will be used for the selection of persons to be included in statistical studies of personnel management matters. The use of the SSN is made necessary because of the large number of present and former Federal employees and applicants who have identical names and birth dates, and whose identities can only be distinguished by the SSN.

Completing the VA 10-2850c form is straightforward, and adhering to the instructions can help streamline the process. Once you fill out the form, it will be submitted to the appropriate authorities for further evaluation. Here are the steps to successfully complete the form:
The VA 10-2850c form, also known as the Application for Associated Health Occupations, is used by health professionals to apply for positions within the Veterans Health Administration. This includes roles such as nurses, social workers, and various therapy-related positions. By completing this form, applicants provide the information necessary for the VA to evaluate their qualifications.
Individuals looking to secure employment in the Veterans Health Administration must complete the VA 10-2850c form. This is specifically tailored for health professionals. Whether you are a recent graduate or a seasoned practitioner, filling out this form is a crucial step in the application process.
The form can be acquired from the official U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs website. It is available in a downloadable format, typically as a PDF, making it easy to fill out and print. Ensure you are using the most recent version of the form to avoid any delays in your application process.
The form requires various personal details, including your name, contact information, and educational background. You will also need to provide information related to any licenses or certifications you hold, as well as your work history. Accurate and complete information is important, as it directly affects the evaluation of your qualifications.
Filling out the VA 10-2850c form can be a complex process, and it’s common for applicants to make mistakes that can lead to delays or even rejections. Understanding these common errors is key to ensuring a smoother application experience.
One significant mistake is not providing complete information. Each section of the VA 10-2850c form is designed to gather specific details. If applicants leave out important facts or details, this can lead to gaps in the application. This lack of information may cause additional requests for clarification, which can prolong the process.
Another frequent error occurs when applicants fail to sign and date the form. It might seem like a minor issue, but an unsigned form is considered incomplete. This oversight can halt processing until the necessary signatures are obtained, potentially delaying benefits that the applicant is seeking.
Inaccurate information is another critical mistake. When filling out personal details, applicants must ensure that everything is correct, from social security numbers to addresses. Errors can lead to misidentification, complications in processing the application, and can even affect one’s eligibility for benefits. Double-checking entries before submission can prevent these missteps.
Some individuals also underestimate the importance of reviewing the instructions. Each form comes with guidelines that specify how to fill it out correctly. Ignoring these instructions can result in mistakes that could easily be avoided. Adhering closely to these directions is essential for completing the form accurately.
Finally, applicants often forget to keep copies of everything they submit. Failing to retain a copy of the VA 10-2850c form can be problematic if questions arise later on regarding the submission. Having a personal record can serve as a reference in any future correspondence or inquiries.
