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.
