Section 80-319
Board of Inquiry and Review; duties; powers; meetings; recommendations.

The Board of Inquiry and Review may check periodically on members of the Nebraska veterans homes to determine whether or not their physical or financial status has so changed since admission that they should no longer be maintained there. For purposes of making such determination, the board has power to subpoena witnesses and take testimony under oath relative to the corpus of estate, financial status, and income of any member. No specified amount, either as to income or accumulated reserve, shall be arbitrarily fixed for determining the eligibility of an applicant to membership or to continuing rights of membership, but each case shall be considered solely on its merits and the evidence presented. The board shall meet at least quarterly and at other times at the request of either the chairperson or secretary of the board at a site selected by the secretary after consultation with the chairperson. Recommendations of the board shall constitute authority for the Department of Health and Human Services to deny further residence to members it finds should no longer be supported there.
