Updates here:
We made recent updates to the 530EZ confirmation email to include section "How to submit supporting documents." We are still waiting on SMEs to review this section of the email. Laura Steele confirmed via Slack (4/29) that these updates are okay to happen post 100%.
There were other updates to this email that the product team wants to go out once the form is at 100%. That's all of the content EXCEPT for the section and content in "How to submit supporting documents" This is a link to the SharePoint document from Fiorella.
A few other important notes:
SMEs did their last review of this email in April and there were no outstanding content items. There was one comment re: link text that I replied to.
I shared with SMEs today (4/29) that the product team is planning to update the email with the other changes (not including the How to submit supporting documents section) and send out the updated email once the online form is at 100%. I tagged you @steele-lm and @aprocik1 and let them know that if they have concerns with you all publishing these updates, that they should tag you all while I'm OOO.
Tracking an update here:
While I was OOO SMEs provided feedback. And @aprocik1 confirmed that @steele-lm can update the confirmation email in VA notify to reflect the content in the SharePoint document - excluding the "How to submit supporting documents" section.
Thank you @aliyahblackmore!
@steele-lm I'll add this on Notify today and identify our Privacy Officer for approval. I'll wait to publish the email draft once we are approved for 100% launch
Thanks @fiorella-io!
And just a flag that @aprocik1 and @steele-lm got approval from SMEs to include all of the content in the confirmation email EXCEPT for the content in the section "How to submit supporting documents" (we'll need to add this content later on, once we make the FDC fast-follow updates on the form and SME review again).
Hi, @aliyahblackmore! I'm just checking to see where we are with the copy of the "How to submit supporting documents" section of the email. Thanks
Hi @fiorella-io - as mentioned last week, I'm turning back to all of these updates this week (the post- 100% FDC updates and related updates to the confirmation email and static page). I'll let you all know when I share the updates with your SMEs - I'll likely have that to them by tomorrow afternoon.
Just an update here:
I sent a message to SMEs via Teams a few minutes ago to have them do an accuracy review of the language on the supporting documents screen in the form. I'll adjust content here once they share any feedback.
Cross posting:
SMEs gave the okay on a version of the medical records information. I'll track the changes in Figma next week. This isn't ready yet.
Cross posting here:
I'll track the content updates in the SharePoint document when I'm back on 7/8.
Hi @aliyahblackmore, I'm checking to see if the final copy is in SharePoint so I can review it and ensure we add "reimbursement" anywhere we mention the form.
Hi @fiorella-io !
The FDC copy isn't ready yet so you all should hold on those FDC updates in the confirmation email. I already added a note in SharePoint just to clarify that section isn't ready yet and I flagged that on Slack earlier in the week.
Re: adding "reimbursement,' to the email, I was just taking a look at the email subject and form name in SharePoint and I actually think that it may be okay to leave "Application for Burial Benefits (VA Form 21P-530EZ" in the confirmation email. I'd like for @aprocik1 to share their thoughts on this as well - they'll be online tomorrow morning.
@aliyahblackmore and @fiorella-io, I think it's okay to leave the confirmation email content unedited. We could consider updating the subject line to something like this: We’ve received your application for burial allowance and transportation reimbursement. But, I don't think that's necessary, since we're using the official form name as the subject line and since we're including the generated "benefits claimed" content.
Updates here on the FDC email content:
The most recent confirmation email content is in the SharePoint document - updates are in alignment with SME 6/5 feedback/approval on the content re: allowances for service-connected deaths and the option for the claimant to submit medical records.
Note: These updates can happen whenever the FDC updates are going live on the online form. And also flagging that the product team should put the email through any necessary privacy reviews as we want to ensure that the email content doesn't introduce any PII.
Thank you, @aliyahblackmore! I was able to accept your copy changes and add them to our Google doc.
Thanks so much @fiorella-io !!
If there are any other future updates to the email, the SharePoint document will have the source of truth content - so you all should reference that.
And I just made some small style tweaks to what you added in Google to match what's in SharePoint exactly.

About your initiative
Which of these descriptions best fits the work we’ll partner on?
Select all that apply.
What's the nature of your initiative and desired outcomes?
As part of #65251 and #68984, we are updating the existing online Burial Form to align with the most recent pdf version of the form. A follow-on component of this work involves adding a confirmation email, so individuals who submit claims receive official confirmation of their claim submission and understand next steps.
Collaboration timeframe
Note: We work on nearly every OCTO product and manage all unauthenticated content on VA.gov, so we will need to prioritize intake requests based on overall workload and VA and OCTO priorities.
Is this work tied to a Congressional mandate, change in law or policy, or upcoming event with a specific deadline?
Where are you at in your timeline?
Tell us briefly about what you're working on now (such as initial discovery, wireframing, or usability research planning) and add any known dates for upcoming milestones or deadlines.
We have drafted the initial copy for the email and sent it to our Burial VBA SMEs on 3/11 requesting feedback.
