Correction to the Expansion of Enrollment in the VA Health Care System

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) published a correcting amendment in the Federal Register on September 21, 2009, clarifying the effective date of the easing of restrictions in the enrollment of priority category 8 veterans as published in a final rule on May 15, 2009. The final regulation neglected to highlight the actual effective date which is June 15, 2009. For more detailed information regarding the expansion of priority category 8 enrollment, refer to VA&R Bulletin 01-09.
