Missing Discharge Status
Program Type: VA
Why this happens: This error occurs in veteran-specific
project enrollments when the client’s veteran status is marked “Yes,” but the Discharge
Status field in the Veteran Information sub-assessment is blank.
HUD and VA data standards require a documented military
discharge type for each client identified as a veteran.
How to fix this:
1. Open the client’s profile and navigate to the
project enrollment under Entry/Exit. Use backdate mode when available; for
shelter enrollments, backdate manually, within entry/exit assessment. because
this function is locked.
2. Locate the Veteran Information sub-assessment
table, which is near the bottom of the project enrollment.
3. Review the client’s intake paperwork to locate
the discharge status of the individual.
4. Locate the field labeled Discharge Status and
select the correct option from the drop-down menu.
5. Click Save & Exit to clear the flag from the
data quality report.
