Department of Veterans Affairs November 28, 2008 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its regulations which set forth a mechanism for paying per diem to State homes providing nursing home care to eligible veterans. More specifically, we are proposing to update the basic per diem rate, to implement provisions of the Veterans Benefits, Health Care, and Information Technology Act of 2006, and to make several other changes to better ensure that veterans receive quality care in State homes.
