            TITLE 38--PENSIONS, BONUSES, AND VETERANS' RELIEF
 
                CHAPTER I--DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS
 
PART 12_DISPOSITION OF VETERAN'S PERSONAL FUNDS AND 
 
Sec. 12.20  Posting of notice provisions of Pub. L. 382.

    (a) VA Form 10-P-10, Application for Hospital Treatment or 
Domiciliary Care, includes notice to the applicant that the acceptance 
of care or treatment by any veteran shall constitute acceptance of the 
provisions of the act. Similar notice shall be given to each veteran 
receiving care as of March 26, 1942, by posting notice in a prominent 
place in each building wherein patients or members are housed. Such 
notices shall be posted immediately and kept posted.
    (b) Since the provisions of the law are applicable to all veterans 
receiving care at the expense of the Department of Veterans Affairs 
(whether in contract, Federal, State or private hospital) it shall be 
the responsibility of the Department of Veterans Affairs officer 
authorizing admission of a veteran to other than a Department of 
Veterans Affairs hospital, center or home, to cause the chief officer of 
such institution to post in a conspicuous place, in all buildings where 
veterans are housed, the provisions of Sec. 12.19(a), or if he or she 
declines to post such provisions, notify the patients individually and 
supply a statement from each acknowledging notice. Such provisions 
supersede in part the provisions of Form 10-P-10, executed prior to 
March 26, 1942.
