commodog Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Quick and easy question (one hopes): Veteran files for TDIU April 1 2015. TDIU is approved, and award letter is dated June 2016. What month should the 4140 be filed? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 HadIt.com Elder Buck52 Posted June 9, 2017 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 9, 2017 I'd file it this Month (June 2017) be sure and get ya a sign return receipt...keep in a safe place or with your award letter. Once a year veterans on IU are suppose to submit them its the Veteran Responsibility. The VA use to send the 21 4140-1 out every year but seems they slack up.

0 Gastone Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 About 30 to 60 days prior to your yearly IU Award Anniversary Date, you should receive a VA Letter and a copy of the 21-2140. VA Regs require that you complete and file the 2140 within 60 days of your IU Award Date. Failure to File or a Late filing could result in a VA Notice of Intent to Reduce Your IU. The VA Reg Required the filing of the Yrly 21-2140 stands, regardless of your actually receiving the Yrly Letter & 21-2140 from the VA. Don't take a chance on an IU Reduction back to your CSC Comp Rate or at the very least having to Appeal a Reduction Decision because of the 21-2140 not being filed timely. Send it US Mail Certified Return Receipt. Semper Fi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 HadIt.com Elder Buck52 Posted June 9, 2017 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 9, 2017 I believe once you send the 21-4140-1 in your ok, be sure you sign it & your SS# or Claim # takes about 10 seconds to fill it out but once you file it for the year your safe especially when you get the return sign receipt back , that means they recieved it. so be sure and save the receipt in case they say you never filed it or they never recieved it.

0 commodog Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 Ok, so if I received my award letter at the end of May this year (2017), then I should file the 4140-1 on May of 2018? Sorry for the confusion, but I changed the dates initially because I like my ambiguity. My award letter was sent to me at the very end of May 2017. It retropaid back to July of 2016. So if I sent in the 4140-1 next May, I am good to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 HadIt.com Elder Buck52 Posted June 10, 2017 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 10, 2017 Yes if you get Award of TDIU 2017 then you need to file the 21-4140-1 Employment Questioner in 2018...some veterans send it in on or close to their award date but just as long as you send it in...My Award date is March So I send mine in sometimes in Jan or Feb or the beginning of the new year. They check these at random, so just make sure you send yours in each year starting in 2018 if you get the IU Award in 2017. VA use to send these out but stopped for some unknown reason. So set yourself a reminder on calendar or some place for you to remember it.

0 HadIt.com Elder Buck52 Posted June 10, 2017 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 10, 2017 To let you know how they truly keep up with this. I had not been sent the 21-4140-1 in 7 or 8 years. BUT SEND IT IN EVERY YEAR I sent my 21-4140-2 in Last year in February 2016 (with sign return receipt...and in June 2016 the VA sent me a 21-4140-1 ...Although I already sent it in with sign return receipt ...However I went ahead and sent this one back in too with Sign Return Receipt.

Buck, I recall reading a year or so back, that for a period of time (X? number of years) the VA decided not to do the 21-4140 Automatic mailings. Started it back up in 14 or 15, I know I got the VA Le

C-Dog, this could be one of those very rare instances, where I'm in error. I can't believe I just said that it actually hurts. Semper Fi
