The goal of this enhancement is to comply with all legislative mandates and improve the timeliness of the collections process. Enhancements to the existing VistA IB and AR software applications would allow for increased efficiency in workflow processes leading to best practices that would ultimately be reflected in improved customer service to our Veteran population. In order to meet these goals, this patch: 1. Updates the Add New Bill to Repayment Plan option to ask users to validate if a Supervisor has approved a Repayment Plan extending beyond 36 months. 2. Updates the logic for generating Repayment Plan needs Review emails to use number of payments remaining instead of the Total Number of Payments. 3. Creates a new Repayment Plan and closes the old plan if a user increases the Monthly Payment amount when using the Edit an Existing Plan option. 4. Prevents Repayment Plans with a Status of New from appearing on the 36 Month Review worklist. 5. Allows bills to continue to add to a Repayment Plan if the plan's term length exceeds 36 months, but is less than 57 months. 6. Ensures that all bills recalled from the debt referral programs are automatically added to a repayment plan duing overnight processing unless the plan's term length exceeds 57 months.
