June 16, 2009..........Priority Group 8 Enrollment Changes
VA Eligibility rules changed on June 15, 2009, making it easier for more Veterans to enroll in VA'S health care system. Under this new regulation, VA relaxed income restrictions for enrollment for health benefits. While this new provision does not remove considerations of income, it does increase income thresholds.
June 15, 2009..........Caribbean Healthcare System
VI Veterans who applied but were
rejected for enrollment prior to January 1,
2009 may need to complete a new means test to have their eligibility for
enrollment reassessed against the new Enrollment threshold. The Health
Eligibility center is already sending letters to these veterans.
Veterans who applied on or after January 1,
2009 and were denied enrollment have been notified that VA will re-determine
their enrollment after the new provisions become effective on June 15,
2009. (These veterans do not have to come to the VA to get a new means
test done).
