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.
2026-09542 — Agency Information Collection Activity Under OMB Review: Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program (SSG Fox SPGP)
The VA is renewing its paperwork for the Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program, which helps fund community groups working to stop Veteran suicides. If you’re involved in these grants, you’ll keep filling out forms like applications and surveys to show how the money’s used. Comments on this paperwork are open until June 12, 2026, so now’s the time to speak up!
2026-09511 — Agency Information Collection Activity: Request for Payment of Bowel and Bladder Services
The Department of Veterans Affairs wants your thoughts on updating a form that helps vets get paid for bowel and bladder care services. This update aims to make the form clearer and easier to use, with no new costs for vets. You’ve got until July 13, 2026, to share your feedback and help improve the process!
2026-09144 — Updates to Waiver of Charges for Copayments
The VA is canceling a plan to change how veterans can get copayment fees waived because they already wiped out over $272 million in old medical bills. This means veterans won’t need to fill out extra forms or wait for new rules to get relief. The withdrawal takes effect May 8, 2026, so veterans can breathe easy knowing the VA has their back without new paperwork or delays.
