Subject: 2001-2002 Comment 161 provided incorrectly
From January 2 to January 5, approximately 9,000 applicants who reported in Item 58 that they are NOT a Veteran received comment 161 in error. Comment 161 should be provided only when applicants respond "Yes" to Veteran status but cannot be sent to the VA Match because of missing name, date of birth and/or signature.
You and your students can ignore this comment and the accompanying VA Match Flag of 8 on SARs and ISIRs processed between January 2 and January 5, unless of course, the applicant actually reported "Yes" to Veteran status but did not provide a name, date of birth and/or signature.
We apologize for the error and for our delay in notifying you of the error, and regret any inconvenience this may have caused you and your students.
