Vets Given More Time to Apply for VA Health Care

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has announced it will extend the healthcare enrollment application period for one year to approximately 545,000 living Veterans that have pending incomplete enrollment applications. "Fixing the Veterans enrollment system is a top priority for VA. This is an important step forward to regain Veterans' trust and improve access to care as we continue the MyVA Transformation," said VA Deputy Secretary Sloan D. Gibson. "We've got a lot of work left to do, but this is a big step in the right direction to restore the data integrity of our enrollment system." For more details, see this Military.com article.
