Priority Group 8 Enrollment Relaxation Changes

In January 2003 VA made the difficult decision to stop enrolling new Priority Group 8 (high income) veterans whose income exceeded VA income thresholds to ensure the availability of health care to veterans with service connected conditions, special authority based on military service, low income, and those with special health care needs.  New regulations take effect today Monday, June 15, 2009 that enable the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to relax income restrictions on enrollment for health benefits. While this new provision does not remove consideration of income, it does increase income thresholds. You may be eligible for enrollment under this new provision. An Enrollment Calculator is available to help Veterans determine their potential eligibility for VA health care services under the new regulation. Check to see if you qualify under the new rules for VA health care.
