VA eligibility rules changed on June 15, 2009, making it easier for more veterans to enroll in VA's health care system. Under this new regulation, VA relaxed income restrictions on enrollment for health benefits. While this new provision does not remove consideration of income, it does increase income thresholds. A Web-based calculator is available for veterans to enter their income information, dependents, and zip code to assess if their income would fall within the proposed income threshold adjustments. Veterans are encouraged to contact VA's Health Resource Center at 1?877?222 VETS (8387) or visit the VA health eligibility website for more information.
