2025-21242 — Extending Deadline for Debtor To Request a Waiver
The VA is giving veterans more time—up to one year instead of 180 days—to ask for a waiver on debts related to benefits. This change, effective January 26, 2026, helps reduce stress by giving veterans extra breathing room to handle their debt issues. It doesn’t cost veterans extra money but makes the process friendlier and fairer.
2025-18827 — Extension of Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers Eligibility for Legacy Participants and Legacy Applicants
The VA is giving family caregivers of veterans more time to stay in their special support program by extending the deadline from 2025 to 2028. This means caregivers and veterans who joined the program earlier (the legacy group) can keep getting help for three more years. No changes to money or benefits, just extra time to enjoy the support they deserve!
2025-14687 — Reproductive Health Services
The VA is planning to stop covering abortions and abortion counseling again, reversing a 2022 change. This affects veterans and their families who use VA and CHAMPVA health benefits. The change aims to focus VA services on what they consider essential care, with no new costs or timing details shared yet.
2026-10305 — Agency Information Collection Activity Under OMB Review: Certification of Training Hours, Wages, and Progress
The Department of Veterans Affairs is updating a form that helps track veterans’ training hours, wages, and progress in their rehab programs. Veterans using these benefits will need to provide this info so their payments and support don’t get delayed. Comments on the changes are open until June 22, 2026, and the update aims to keep things smooth without adding extra hassle.
2026-10130 — Agency Information Collection Activity: Status of Loan Account-Foreclosure or Other Liquidation
The VA is keeping its form for tracking loans that go into foreclosure or get liquidated, making sure it stays easy to use and up to date. This affects people with VA-backed loans that are behind on payments, letting the VA handle repurchasing those loans after certain rules are met. Comments on this plan are open until June 22, 2026, and the paperwork won’t cost much time—just about 30 minutes per person.
2026-10084 — Expanding Access to State Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs
The VA is making it easier and clearer for certain VA health workers to check State Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMPs) to keep an eye on prescription drug use. This change helps prevent medicine misuse and protects those checking the data while they do their jobs. Comments on this new rule are open until July 20, 2026, and it aims to make prescribing safer for veterans.

The U.S. checked if chlorinated isocyanurates from Spain were sold too cheaply in the U.S. from June 2022 to May 2023 and found they weren’t. This means no extra taxes (antidumping duties) will be added for that time. Companies importing these chemicals can keep doing business without paying extra fees for now.
