(Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.) For 2014, the Budget is requesting $54.5 billion in advance appropriations for the three medical care appropriations: Medical Services, Medical Support and Compliance, and Medical Facilities. This request for advance appropriations fulfills the Administration's commitment to provide reliable and timely resources to support the delivery of accessible and high-quality medical services for veterans. Advance appropriations require a multi-year approach to budget planning whereby one year builds off the previous year. This funding enables timely and predictable funding for VA's medical care to prevent our Nation's veterans from being adversely affected by budget delays, and provides opportunities to more effectively use resources in a constrained fiscal environment. For example, estimated savings from management improvements to be achieved in 2012 will be carried forward into 2013 to reduce the appropriations needed . Without the carryover of these resources from 2012 , currently estimated at $500 million, VA would need a higher level of appropriations in 2013 .For 2013, Medical Care appropriations are increased by $165 million over the enacted 2013 advance appropriations of $52.5 billion. Each year, VA updates its budget estimates to incorporate the most recent data on health care utilization rates, actual program experience, and other factors, such as economic trends in unemployment and inflation. As a result, in 2012 and 2013 VA was able to reinvest funding in high priority medical programs.With the resources requested for 2013 and 2014, VA will provide the highest quality health care services for veterans. VA estimates it will treat 6.3 million patients in 2013 and 6.4 million patients in 2014. Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation New Dawn (OEF/OIF/OND) veterans are expected to reach 610,416 in 2013 (9.7 percent of the total) and 654,480 in 2014 (10.3 percent of the total). For Medical Services, the Budget reflects the following appropriation funding: the 2012 enacted advance appropriations of $39.6 billion; the 2013 appropriation request of $41.5 billion; and the 2014 advance appropriations request of $43.6 billion. This appropriation provides for a comprehensive, integrated health care delivery system that addresses the needs of eligible veterans and beneficiaries in VA medical centers, outpatient clinic facilities, contract hospitals, State homes, and outpatient programs on a fee basis. Hospital and outpatient care is also provided by the private sector for certain dependents and survivors of veterans under the Civilian Health and Medical Programs for the Department of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA). Medical Care Collections Fund (MCCF)VA estimates collections of $3.0 billion in 2013 and nearly $3.1 billion in 2014, representing five percent of available resources in both years. VA has the authority to collect inpatient and outpatient co-payments, medication co-payments, and nursing home co-payments; authority for certain income verification; authority to recover third-party insurance payments from veterans for nonservice-connected conditions; and authority to collect revenue from enhanced use leases. These collections also include those collected from the Compensated Work Therapy Program, Compensation and Living Expenses Program, and the Parking Program.

VA's strategy is to improve access and timeliness of service by reducing waiting times in specialty and primary care clinics for new patient appointments in medical centers nationwide and by relying more extensively on non-institutional forms of long-term care. In 2012, VHA will begin measuring the four appointment performance measures using a 14-day standard, as noted in the chart below. VA strives to improve timely access to the delivery of primary and specialty care which is critical to providing high-quality care to veterans. 2011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

Medical and Prosthetic Research Medical and Prosthetic ResearchFor necessary expenses in carrying out programs of medical and prosthetic research and development as authorized by chapter 73 of title 38, United States Code, $581,000,000 $582,674,000, plus reimbursements, shall remain available until September 30, 2013 2014. (Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)For 2013, the total budgetary resources of $1.9 billion is comprised of $583 million in direct appropriations, $583 million in medical care support, and $710 million in Federal and private sector grants. The research program will support 3,526 full time equivalents through direct appropriation and a total of over 15,000 research staff through all funding sources. This account is an intramural program that has had significant success developing research leading to clinical achievements that improve the health and quality of life for veterans and the Nation. VA is at the forefront of producing new transformational approaches and technologies for preventing, diagnosing, and treating disease. VA research transforms medicine by uniquely engaging veterans both as clinical patients and as research volunteers. Through technology, advancements, and information, research helps transform VA's health care into a leading example of medicine in the 21st Century. High priority research programs in 2013 will provide Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation New Dawn (OND) veterans and rural veterans with critical needs research activity. VA will focus on key areas affecting OEF/OIF/OND veterans including Homelessness/Access to Care and Rural Health, Personalized Medicine and Military Exposure-Related Illnesses. Homelessness is a top priority for VA, and research will focus on interventions, risk factors and health care usage patterns in an effort to eliminate homelessness. With regard to Access to Care, one of the critical missions of VA research is to identify system-wide gaps in care to veterans. This includes assessing specific barriers to care for vulnerable populations, including rural veterans. VA research has demonstrated an explicit focus on access as a component of validating the quality of care in all VA health care services, organizational structures, and mechanisms for delivering care. Current studies address new telemedicine and telehealth initiatives, community based outpatient clinics (CBOCs), collaborative care models, access for OEF/OIF/OND veterans, and access to specialized care such as VA rehabilitation services. The development, evaluation, and implementation of new telemedicine technologies represent an important focus of research to improve access to VA health care, particularly for rural veterans. Emphasis will also be placed on personalized medicine where using information on a patients' genetic make-up can lead to a more tailored, precise and effective level of care. The Million Veteran Program, with the goal of collecting one million genetic samples, will continue to be a significant undertaking in 2013 as VA investigates whether genetic influences in disease and/or responses to medications can be used to further advance personalized care with the ultimate goal to develop an evidence base for treatments that are optimized to each veteran's genetic makeup. VA core research priorities in 2013 will include Mental Health, Gulf War Veterans' Illnesses and Exposures, Prosthetics, Traumatic Brain Injury , Spinal Cord Injury, Women Veterans, and a special initiative on Researching Pain. VA scientists who partner with colleagues from other Federal agencies, academic medical centers, nonprofit organizations, and commercial entities nationwide further expand the reach and scope of VA research. Through VA's academic affiliations as well as collaborations with other Federal agencies, it is fully integrated with the larger biomedical research community. Veterans' health issues are addressed comprehensively in the following four program divisions and the medical care research support required for these programs:Supports preclinical research to understand life processes from a molecular, genomic, and physiological level in regard to diseases affecting veterans.Administers investigations (i.e., human subject research such as drug, surgical, single subject, pilot and multi-center cooperative studies as well as feasibility trials) aimed at instituting new, more effective clinical care.Supports studies to identify and promote effective and efficient strategies to improve the delivery of health care to veterans.Develops novel approaches to restoring veterans with traumatic amputation, central nervous system injuries, loss of sight and/or hearing, or other physical and cognitive impairments to full and productive lives.VA's Medical and Prosthetic Research programs are included in the Federal Research and Development (R&D) budget.Performance Measure2011 Actual2012 est.2013 est.

In 2011, $2.8 billion was collected in the MCCF receipt account and transferred to the Medical Services appropriation and Joint Demonstration Fund to provide health care to our veterans. These collections consist of co-payments from veterans for inpatient, outpatient, and nursing home care, and prescribed medications; third-party insurance payments from veterans for nonservice-connected conditions; and collections from enhanced-use leases, the Compensated Work Therapy Program, Compensation and Living Expensed Program, and the Parking Program.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 36–5287–0–2–7032011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

This appropriation provides for the payment of compensation, pension, and burial benefits to veterans and survivors. Compensation is paid to veterans for disabilities incurred in or aggravated during active military service. Dependency and Indemnity Compensation is paid to survivors of servicepersons or veterans whose death occurred while on active duty or as a result of service-connected disabilities. Compensation and vocational rehabilitation is provided to the children of Vietnam veterans who were born with certain birth defects. The Secretary may pay a clothing allowance to each veteran who uses a prescribed medication for a service-connected skin condition or wears a prosthetic or orthopedic appliance (including a wheelchair) which, in the judgment of the Secretary, tends to damage or tear the clothing of such veteran.Miscellaneous benefits provided for are: (a) payments for claims made pursuant to the provision of the World War Adjusted Compensation Act of 1924, as amended; (b) a special allowance (38 U.S.C. 1312) to dependents of certain Veterans who died after December 31, 1956, but who were not fully and currently insured under the Social Security Act; and (c) payments authorized by the Equal Access to Justice Act. The appropriation also provides for a program to allow VA to perform income matches for certain compensation recipients.In accordance with Public Law 97–377, the Reinstated Entitlement Program for Survivors (REPS) program restores Social Security benefits to certain surviving spouses or children of veterans who died of service-connected causes. Legislation is proposed to provide a cost-of-living adjustment comparable to the annual social security increase to recipients of disability compensation, dependency and indemnity compensation, and clothing allowances. The increase, effective with payments made on January 1, 2013, is expected to be 1.9 percent. AVERAGE NUMBER OF COMPENSATION CASES AND PAYMENTS2011 actual2012 est2013 est.

Pension benefits may be paid to veterans or their survivors. A veteran's entitlement is based on active duty service of a specific length (normally 90 days or more) during a designated war period, disabilities considered permanent and total, and countable income below established levels. There is no disability requirement for survivor cases or veterans age 65 or older. Income support is provided at established benefit levels. An automatic annual cost-of-living increase comparable to the annual social security increase is provided for those pensioners in the improved program and to parents receiving dependency and indemnity compensation. The increase, effective with payments made on January 1, 2013, is expected to be 1.9 percent. AVERAGE NUMBER OF PENSION CASES AND PAYMENTS2011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

This appropriation finances educational assistance allowances for certain service persons, veterans, and for eligible dependents of those: (a) veterans who died from service-connected causes or have a total and permanent rated service-connected disability; and (b) servicepersons who were captured or missing in action. In addition, certain disabled veterans are provided with vocational rehabilitation, specially adapted housing grants, and automobile grants with the associated approved adaptive equipment. Voluntary contributions by eligible servicepersons and matching contributions provided by the Department of Defense are included in the Post-Vietnam Era Veterans Education Account.The Post 9–11 GI Bill (Chapter 33)Public Law 110–252, greatly expanded education benefits beginning on August 1, 2009. Based on length of active duty service and training rate, trainees may be entitled to benefits including: tuition and fees, housing allowance, books and supplies stipend, kickers, and Yellow Ribbon matching payments. Certain active duty members of the Armed Forces may transfer benefits to a spouse or children.All volunteer force educational assistance (Montgomery GI Bill)Public Law 98–525, enacted October 19, 1984, established two new educational programs: an assistance program for veterans who enter active duty during the period beginning July 1, 1985; and an assistance program for certain members of the Selected Reserve. Public Law 108–375 established a program to provide educational assistance to members of the reserve components called or ordered to active service in response to a war or national emergency declared by the President or the Congress, in recognition of the sacrifices that those members make in answering the call to duty. The Readjustment Benefit appropriation pays the basic benefit allowance for veterans, except for certain Post-Vietnam Era Veterans Education participants who transferred to the Montgomery GI Bill program. Supplementary educational assistance, Post-Vietnam Era Veterans Education converters, reservists, and the National Call to Service Program are financed by payments from Department of Defense.Survivors and Dependants Educational Assistance (Chapter 35)Benefits are provided to children and spouses of veterans who died of a service-connected disability or whose service-connected disability is rated permanent and total. In addition, dependents of servicepersons missing in action or interned by a hostile foreign government for more than 90 days are also eligible. The following table provides a comparison of trainees and costs for the Dependents Educational Assistance program.The Veterans Retraining Assistance Program, established under Public Law 112–56, is a program that, beginning on July 1, 2012, will provide up to 12 months of retraining assistance to veterans at least 35 years of age but not more than 60 years of age, who are unemployed, received an honorable discharge and have no eligibility remaining for other education benefits. Veterans participating in this program would receive monthly payments equal to the three-year payment rate under the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB) chapter 30 program. The following table shows a caseload and cost comparison for these beneficiaries under existing legislation.CASELOAD AND AVERAGE COST DATA2011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance Fund This fund finances the payment of group life insurance premiums to private insurance companies under the Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance (SGLI) Act of 1965, as amended. SGLI is a program for Servicemembers on active duty, ready reservists, members of the National Guard, members of the Commissioned Corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Public Health Service, cadets and midshipmen of the four service academies, and members of the Reserve Officer Training Corps. SGLI coverage is available in $50,000 increments up to the maximum of $400,000. Veterans' Group Life Insurance (VGLI) is a program of post-separation insurance which allows Servicemembers to convert their SGLI coverage to renewable term insurance. Family Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance (FSGLI) is a program extended to the spouses and dependent children of members insured under the SGLI program. FSGLI provides up to a maximum of $100,000 of insurance coverage for spouses, not to exceed the amount of SGLI the insured member has in force, and $10,000 of free coverage for dependent children. Spousal coverage is issued in increments of $10,000. The Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance Traumatic Injury Protection Program (TSGLI) became effective December 1, 2005. TSGLI provides for payment between $25,000 and $100,000 (depending on the type of injury) to any member of the uniformed services covered by SGLI who sustains a traumatic injury that results in certain serious losses.

Veterans Housing Benefit Program Fund Veterans Housing Benefit Program FundFor the cost of direct and guaranteed loans, such sums as may be necessary to carry out the program, as authorized by subchapters I through III of chapter 37 of title 38, United States Code: Provided, That such costs, including the cost of modifying such loans, shall be as defined in section 502 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974: Provided further, That during fiscal year 2012 2013, within the resources available, not to exceed $500,000 in gross obligations for direct loans are authorized for specially adapted housing loans.In addition, for administrative expenses to carry out the direct and guaranteed loan programs, $154,698,000 $157,814,000. (Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records, for these programs, the subsidy costs associated with the direct loans obligated and loan guarantees committed in 1992 and beyond, (including modifications of direct loans or loan guarantees that resulted from obligations or commitments in any year), as well as for the administrative expenses of these programs. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a net present value basis.Veterans Affairs (VA) housing program accountThe housing program helps eligible veterans, active duty personnel, surviving spouses, and members of the Reserves and National Guard purchase, retain, and adapt homes in recognition of their service to the Nation. When a borrower purchases a home, the program operates by substituting the Federal Government's guaranty for a down payment that might otherwise be required. Under 38 U.S.C. 3703, the guaranty amount for a borrower with full entitlement is as follows:(a) 50 percent for loans of $45,000 or less;(b) $22,500 for loans greater than $45,000, but no more than $56,250;(c) The lesser of $36,000 or 40 percent of the loan amount for loans greater than $56,250, but not more than $144,000;(d) 25 percent of the loan amount for loans of $144,001 to $417,000; or (e) For certain loans in excess of $417,000, the guaranty will be the lesser of: 25 percent of the county loan limit, or 25 percent of the loan.This appropriation provides for the corporate leadership and operational support to VA's housing business line. The housing program facilitates the extension of private capital, on more liberal terms than generally available to nonveterans, to assist veterans and servicepersons in obtaining housing credit, and assist veterans in retaining their homes during periods of temporary economic difficulty through intensive supplemental mortgage loan servicing.Guaranteed transitional housing loans for homeless veteransEstablished as a pilot project by the Veterans Benefits Improvement Act of 1998, Public Law 105–368, this program will not execute any new loans. The existing loan will continue to be serviced within the financing account and no further funds will be required from the program account.WORKLOAD[In thousands]2011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

United States Government Life Insurance Fund Department of Veterans Affairs insurance policy loans are not an extension of Federal credit. Credit schedules previously shown for this account have been discontinued.This fund was established in 1919 to receive premiums and pay claims on insurance issued under the provisions of the War Risk Insurance Act. The general decline in the activity of the fund is indicated in the following table:POLICIES AND INSURANCE IN FORCE2011 actual2012 est.2013 est.
Number of policies2,9582,2411,646
Insurance in force (dollars in millions)$8$5$4
The fund is operated on a commercial basis to the extent possible. The income of the fund is derived from interest on investments. Effective January 1, 1983, premiums were discontinued because reserves held in the fund were adequate to meet future liabilities of the program.Assets of the fund, which are largely invested in interest-bearing securities and policy loans, are estimated to decrease from $13.5 million as of September 30, 2012, to $9.9 million as of September 30, 2013, as an increasing number of policies mature through death or disability. The actuarial evaluation of policy obligations as of September 30, 2013, totals $9.4 million, leaving a balance of $0.5 million for contingency reserves.Special and Trust Fund Receipts(in millions of dollars)Identification code 36–8150–0–7–7012011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

There are six related programs managed by the National Cemetery Administration including: (1) burying eligible veterans and their family members in national cemeteries and maintaining the graves and their environs as national shrines; (2) administering grants to States and Tribal Governments in establishing, expanding, improving, or operating veterans cemeteries; (3) providing headstones and markers for the graves of eligible veterans; (4) providing presidential memorial certificates to family and friends of deceased veterans, recognizing the veterans' contribution and service to the Nation; (5) providing graveliners or partial reimbursement for a privately purchased outer burial receptacle for each new grave in open national cemeteries administered by the National Cemetery Administration; and (6) recording First Notice of Veteran Deaths into VA electronic files to ensure timely termination of benefits and next-of-kin notification of possible entitlement to survivor benefits. The National Cemetery Administration also reflects budget information for the National Cemetery Gift Fund and the National Cemetery Administration Facilities Operation Fund. Through the Gift Fund, the Secretary is authorized to accept gifts and bequests which are made for the purpose of beautifying national cemeteries or are determined to be beneficial to such cemeteries, or are made for the purpose of the operation, maintenance, or improvement of the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona. Through the Facilities Operation Fund, the Secretary is authorized to lease any undeveloped land and unused or underutilized buildings of the National Cemetery Administration, or parts or parcels thereof, for a term not to exceed 10 years. Proceeds from such leases are deposited in the Facilities Operation Fund, and are available to cover costs incurred by the National Cemetery Administration in the operation and maintenance of property of the Administration.Note: Total obligations reported include the net of recoveries of prior year paid and unpaid obligations while VA is in the process of modifying its financial system to record recoveries consistent with OMB Circular No. A-11.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 36–0129–0–1–7052011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

The VA Franchise Fund was established under the authority of the Government Management Reform Act of 1994 and the VA and Housing and Urban Development and Independent Agencies Act of 1997. VA was selected by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in 1996 as one of the six executive branch agencies to establish a franchise fund pilot program. Created as a revolving fund, the VA Franchise Fund began providing common administrative support services to the VA and other government agencies in 1997 on a fee-for-service basis. In 2006, under the Military Quality of Life and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act, Public Law 109–114, permanent status was conferred upon the VA Franchise Fund. VA Enterprise Centers are the lines of business within the VA Franchise Fund and are expected to have net billings of about $541 million and employ 1,249 in 2013. The Franchise Fund concept is intended to increase competition for government administrative services, resulting in lower costs and higher quality.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 36–4539–0–4–7052011 actual2012 est.2013 est.
