VA Form 28-10289 Monthly Progress Report - Veteran Readiness and Employment

Before preparing VA Form 28-10289 (28-10289), verify the identity of the form and gather the records the instructions call for.

• For VA forms, check benefit program, claimant identity, service records, medical evidence, and dependency records before submission.
• Confirm the VA form edition and benefit program before filing.
• Attach service records, medical evidence, dependency records, or authorization documents when required.
• Confirm employee, employer, payroll, tax, work authorization, and effective-date details before signing.
• Use legal names and identification numbers exactly as they appear in employer or government records.
• Collect any required policy acknowledgments, authorization pages, or employer-provided instructions.

• Using inconsistent names, tax IDs, hire dates, work locations, or employer details.
• Leaving certification, consent, direct deposit, withholding, or signature fields incomplete.
• Submitting onboarding or payroll forms outside the employer-approved workflow.

DocuHub prepares the fillable PDF; the issuing authority controls where and how the completed form is filed.

• Follow the employer, payroll provider, or issuing agency instructions for secure delivery and retention.
• Confirm any deadline, identity-document rule, or payroll cutoff with the employer or official agency instructions.
• Avoid sending sensitive employment documents through informal channels unless the employer has approved them.

• Open the official source at vba.va.gov and compare the form name, form code, agency, and 2024-03-18 VA Form 28-10289.
• If the official page shows a newer revision, fee schedule, filing address, or deadline, use the official page over any saved PDF copy.
• Confirm the form applies to US, especially when state, province, national, or agency-specific versions exist.

• Keep the completed form with onboarding, payroll, benefits, or authorization records.
• Save confirmation from the employer portal or HR recipient when available.

• Ask HR, payroll, the issuing agency, or qualified counsel when withholding, eligibility, consent, or employment rights are unclear.
• Use official instructions for current employer and agency requirements.
