43 Pa. Code § 7.13 - Readmission after discharge

(a) A resident accepting a discharge at his own request may not be readmitted until 6 months have elapsed, at which time the application will be considered as if it were an initial application for admission.

(b) A resident discharged under § 7.11 (relating to grounds for discharge) may apply for readmission as follows:

(1) A resident discharged under § 7.11(2) for conviction of a felony may apply for readmission after 5 years have elapsed. The circumstances leading to the discharge may be considered in determining whether to readmit the veteran.

(2) A resident discharged under § 7.11(3)-(6) may apply after 12 months have elapsed.

(3) A resident discharged under § 7.11(7) or (8) may be readmitted when the resident's medical condition is such that he is eligible for admission. The application for readmission is subject to the priority provisions of § 7.6 (relating to priority of admission).

(4) A resident discharged under § 7.11(7) or (8) for medical or other conditions for which treatment is unavailable or which renders the resident unsuitable for continued residence may apply for readmission after the condition that resulted in discharge is changed, making the resident eligible for readmission.

(5) A resident discharged under § 7.11(7) or (8) who is eligible for readmission shall be placed at the top of the waiting list for priority for admission.

(c) Readmission may not be granted to a resident who was financially indebted to a State Veterans Home at the time of discharge. If the resident was financially able to repay the debt during the period of discharge, readmission may not be granted until full payment of the indebtedness is made or an arrangement satisfactory to the Superintendent is made for payment.

(d) Failure to fulfill an arrangement for repayment after readmission is cause for immediate discharge.
