Department of Veterans Affairs May 23, 2024 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

National Cemetery Administration (NCA), Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), is announcing an opportunity for public comment on the proposed collection of certain information by the agency. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, Federal agencies are required to publish notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension of a currently approved collection, and allow 60 days for public comment in response to the notice.

This final rule amends the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical regulations and its regulations on per diem for nursing home care of veterans in State homes to conform with section 101 of the Joseph Maxwell Cleland and Robert Joseph Dole Memorial Veterans Benefits and Health Care Improvement (Cleland-Dole) Act of 2022, which expanded the provision of hospital care, medical services, and nursing home care to World War II (WWII) veterans. VA is also amending its medical regulations to remove existing references to Mexican border and World War I (WWI) veterans.
