To
apply for VA health care benefits, including enrollment,
you must fill out an application. We use the application
to determine:
- Whether you have qualifying service as a veteran
- What your veteran status is so that you can be placed
into one of the enrollment
priority groups
Once enrolled, most veterans remain enrolled from year to
year without further action on their part. However,
- Some veterans need to provide updated financial information
to continue their enrollment in a certain priority group
- You may cancel your enrollment anytime
* Enrollment Restriction:
Effective January 17, 2003, VA suspended NEW enrollment of veterans assigned
to Priority Group 8e and 8g (VA's lowest priority group consisting of higher
income veterans). Veterans assigned to Priority Group 8e and 8g are veterans
who are enrolling for the first time on or after January 17, 2003, and whose
income exceeds the current year income threshold, who have no other special
eligibilities such as a compensable service connected condition or recent combat
service, and who refuse to provide income information are not eligible for
enrollment at this time. Veterans enrolled in Priority Group 8a and 8c on or
before January 16, 2003, will remain enrolled and continue to be eligible for
the full-range of VA health care benefits. |
Changes in VA’s available resources may reduce the
number of priority groups VA can enroll in a given year.
If that occurs, VA will publicize the enrollment changes
and notify affected enrollees.
