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.
2026-11752 — Grants for the Rural Veterans Coordination Pilot; Rescission
The VA is officially ending the Rural Veterans Coordination Pilot grant program because its legal permission has expired. This means no new grants will be given, and the rules about this program are being removed to keep things clear and simple. The change takes effect on July 13, 2026, so rural veterans and community groups should note the program is officially closed.
2026-11766 — Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records
The Department of Veterans Affairs is updating its records system that helps investigate crimes involving veterans. These changes improve how information is stored, accessed, and kept safe.

2026-11494 — Agency Information Collection Activity: Application for Authority To Close Loans on an Automatic Basis Nonsupervised Lenders

This change affects lenders who want quicker loan approvals and yearly recertifications, with more people expected to apply. Comments on this update are open until July 9, 2026, and the paperwork burden will nearly double due to more applicants.
