Combat Veterans Eligibility Extended
On January 28, 2008, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) became law. This new law extends health care eligibility for combat veterans. For more information please click here.
Priority Group 8 Enrollment Relaxation Changes
New regulations have been proposed to allow VA to enroll certain Priority Group 8 (PG 8) Veterans in the VA health system. These Veterans would qualify if their household income does not exceed the current VA income thresholds (means test threshold and/or geographic means test threshold) by more than 10%. These proposed regulations should take effect in June 2009. For more information on these upcoming changes, go to PG 8 Enrollment Relaxation.
An Enrollment Calculator is available to help Veterans determine their potential eligibility for VA health care services under the proposed regulation.
