New schema — VA Form 27-2008

Summary

This schema covers VA Form 27-2008 — Application for United States Flag for Burial Purposes. It is authored against JSON Schema Draft-04 and includes the following key elements:

• Shared definitions for common field types: date (ISO 8601 format, YYYY-MM-DD pattern), ssn (9-digit string), phone (10-digit string), email (format-validated, max 254 characters), and usaState (enum of all U.S. state and territory abbreviations including DC).
• additionalProperties: false is set at the root level, enforcing a strict schema boundary and preventing undeclared fields from being accepted.
• The schema is expected to capture veteran identification details, service history, burial information, and applicant/requester contact information consistent with the purpose of the form (requesting a U.S. burial flag for a deceased veteran).
• Field patterns follow conventions already established in the vets-json-schema repository (e.g., ssn as a plain 9-digit string without hyphens, 10-digit phone without formatting).

Notes for reviewer

• Please ensure you have incremented the version in package.json
• Please add backend-review-group as a reviewer
• The usaState enum should be verified for completeness — the artifact summary was truncated before the full list of state codes was visible. Please confirm all 50 states, DC, and any applicable territories are included.
• The ssn pattern (^\d{9}$) stores Social Security Numbers without hyphens — confirm this is consistent with how downstream consumers (vets-api, vets-website) expect to receive this value.
• The phone pattern (^\d{10}$) does not account for extensions or international numbers — confirm this is acceptable for the form's use case.
• Draft-04 is used for consistency with other schemas in this repository; no upgrade to a later draft is assumed.
