Manual continuity procedure

  1. Open the bound Veteran Affairs register and assign the next unused reference in the form PPR-VETERANS-SERVICE-{REGISTER}-{YYYYMMDD}-{ENTRY} before separating the packet.
  2. Write the same PPR reference on every sheet and supporting item. Record original local receipt time/timezone, receiving staff, privacy marking and physical location.
  3. Give the submitter the VSA-RCT-6 administrative receipt copy when a submitter is present.
  4. Keep contact, person/record labels, service-history material and narrative sheets protected. Public display must never expose these protected paper fields.
  5. For service history, veteran status, awards, recognition, benefits or memorial facts, record the actual source owner and source reference. If the source belongs to I.U.S.C., I.U.S.C. remains the source owner and Government preserves and routes the supplied reference.
  6. Record each physical custody handoff. Keep every source-dependent fact tied to its actual source reference and record referral outcomes from destination responses.
  7. When digital service returns, reconcile in register order through the authorized Veteran Affairs operator surface. Preserve the original paper receipt time, PPR reference, physical original location, custody reference and optional scan hash/page count separately from later digital creation time.
  8. Write the resulting GVA reference back into the register and retain the paper original under the applicable record schedule. If no authorized disposition schedule exists, hold the original rather than destroying it.
