On top of concerns for velvet, brook, etc, is also the concern that possibly something went wrong with the TTM process. I do an extra 3 weeks in hopes that Ich will reappear during that time if something went wrong. Keep in mind that it is possible, albeit highly unlikely to actually happen, for a Tomite to form on the fish itself. If that happens, then TTM will fail (we would hear more of failures if this happened a reasonable enough to actually worry about it though, IMO)...
This worked recently for me while QT'ing 6 Tang's. They were heavily infested at the beginning, and a week after completing TTM some white spots started reappearing... i wasn't 100% it was Ich again, but I didn't take any chances and redid TTM.
I generally qt for a minimum of 8 weeks anyway, I was just looking for clarification on how long we should be on the lookout for velvet.
