Medical Care.— In 2023, the Administration requests an additional $7.5 billion over the 2023 advance appropriation of $111.3 billion for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Care programs, consisting of four appropriations: Medical Services, Medical Community Care, Medical Support and Compliance, and Medical Facilities. Each year, VA updates its budget estimates to incorporate the most recent data on healthcare utilization rates, actual program experience, and other factors, such as economic trends in unemployment and inflation. As a result of these updates, the adjusted budget estimates more accurately reflect the projected medical demands of veterans enrolled in the VA healthcare system.
In 2023, the Budget makes robust investments in VA Medical Care programs, including: $2.7 billion for veterans' homelessness programs and $13.9 billion for veterans' mental health care services, including $497 million for veteran suicide prevention initiatives. The Budget also includes $663 million for VA's Opioid Prevention and Treatment programs, including programs in support of the Jason Simcakoski Memorial and Promise Act.
For 2024, the Budget requests $128.1 billion in advance appropriations for VA Medical Care. 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.
With the resources requested for 2023 and 2024, VA will provide the highest quality healthcare services for veterans. VA estimates it will treat 7.3 million patients in 2023 and 7.4 million patients in 2024. Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation New Dawn (OEF/OIF/OND) veterans are expected to be 1.3 million in 2023 and 1.4 million in 2024.
Medical Care Collections Fund (MCCF).—VA estimates collections of $3.9 billion in 2023 and $4.0 billion in 2024. 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.
Medical Services.—For Medical Services, the Budget reflects the 2023 advance appropriation request of $70.3 billion and an annual appropriation request of $261 million; and the 2024 advance appropriation request of $74.0 billion. This appropriation provides for the component of VA's comprehensive, integrated healthcare delivery system that addresses the needs of eligible veterans and beneficiaries in VA facilities.
Estimated obligations and workload for seven categories of healthcare services are shown below: outpatient care, inpatient care, mental healthcare, long term services and supports, prosthetics care, dental care, and rehabilitation care. In addition, estimated obligations and workload are also shown for six programs: CHAMPVA and other dependent programs, readjustment counseling, Caregivers, pharmacy, the Camp Lejeune Family Member, and State Homes. Estimated obligations and workload reflect care in total provided through the Medical Services and Medical Community Care appropriations, as applicable.
Ambulatory Care (Outpatient care).—Obligations for 2023 are estimated to be $42,987 million for Medical Services and Medical Community Care for this health service category, which includes funding for ambulatory care in VA facilities and in the community.

The Honoring America's Veterans and Caring for Camp Lejeune Families Act of 2012 (P.L. 112–154) extended eligibility for VA hospital care and medical services to certain veterans who were stationed at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, for at least 30 days between 1957 and 1987. Family members of such veterans who resided, or were in utero, at Camp Lejeune for at least 30 days during that period are eligible for reimbursement of hospital care and medical services for 15 specified illnesses and conditions, and VA is the payer of last resort.

The Medical Community Care appropriation provides funding for community care services to eligible veterans and other beneficiaries, which has been an essential part of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare system for decades.
The Budget reflects the following discretionary appropriation funding: the 2023 advance appropriation request of $24.2 billion, together with an annual appropriation request of $4.3 billion; and the 2024 advance appropriation request of $33.0 billion.
The 2024 request for advance appropriation fulfills the Administration's commitment to provide reliable and timely resources to support the delivery of accessible and high-quality medical services for veterans.
Section 8004 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (P.L. 117–2) provided $250 million in 2021 for a one-time only obligation and expenditure to existing State extended care facilities for veterans in proportion to each State's share of the total resident capacity in such facilities as of the date of enactment of this Act. Capacity includes only veterans on whose behalf the Department pays a per diem payment pursuant to section 1741 or 1745 of title 38, United States Code. The period of availability is from the date of the enactment of the Act, March 11, 2021, through September 30, 2022. VA obligated $104 million in 2021 and plans to obligate the remaining $396 million in 2022.

The purpose of the Department of Defense-Veterans Affairs Health Care Sharing Incentive Fund, often referred to as the Joint Incentive Fund (JIF), is to enable the Departments to carry out a program to identify and provide incentives to implement creative sharing initiatives at the facility, intra-regional and nationwide levels. The JIF promotes collaboration and new approaches to problem solving to enable the Departments to improve the coordination of health care services. The Departments have established the fund and developed processes and criteria to solicit and select projects. Section 721 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003, Public Law 107–314, established the fund and requires the Departments to establish a joint incentive program. In 2023, each Secretary shall contribute a minimum of $15 million to the fund after the appropriation is enacted.

For 2023, the total budgetary resources of over $2.3 billion is comprised of $916 million in direct appropriations, $778.6 million in medical care support such as physicians' pay, utilities and other overhead, $540 million in Federal grants and other non-Federal resources, and $61 million in reimbursements. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) research program will support 4,523 full time equivalents through direct appropriations and reimbursable resources. These combined resources will support approximately 2,697 research projects.
This account is an intramural research program with outstanding success leading to critical clinical achievements that improve the health and quality of life for veterans and the Nation. As a health research program focused exclusively on the needs of veterans, VA research continues to play a vital role in the care and rehabilitation of our men and women who have served in uniform. Building on more than 90 years of discovery and innovation engaging veterans as research volunteers, VA research has a proud track record of transforming VA healthcare by bringing new evidence-based treatments and technologies into everyday clinical care. The 2023 request builds upon the historic investment from the 2022 request to continue to increase funding to advance the Department's research missions in military toxic exposures, traumatic brain injury, cancer and precision oncology, and mental health. This request supports our six-cross cutting clinical priorities: suicide prevention; pain management and opioid use; traumatic brain injury (TBI), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD); Gulf War illness and military toxic exposures; and cancer, with a focus on precision oncology.

The Department of Veterans Affairs has the authority to collect co-payments, which are deposited into the Medical Care Collections Fund (MCCF) account. As allowed by the provisions of the appropriations Act, these receipts are transferred to Medical Services, Medical Community Care, and the Joint Department of Defense-Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Facility Demonstration Fund (Joint Demonstration Fund) where they remain available until expended for the purposes of the account. In 2023, VA anticipates collecting $3.9 billion in the MCCF account, which will be transferred to Medical Services, Medical Community Care, and the Joint Demonstration Fund to provide healthcare to 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.
Section 8007 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 directed the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide for any copayment or other cost sharing with respect to healthcare, and reimburse any veteran who paid a copayment or other cost sharing related to healthcare, during the period beginning on April 6, 2020, and ending on September 30, 2021. The Department was appropriated $1 billion, to remain available until expended, to carry out this section. Of that amount, VA estimated $300 million would be executed from the MCCF account and used to reimburse veterans who paid a copayment or other cost sharing during the specified period. VA obligated $244 million for this purpose in 2021.
The remaining $700 million will be used to supplement VA Medical Centers for lost collections revenue and will be executed from the Medical Services and Medical Community Care accounts.

The Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act of 2014 ("Veterans Choice Act"), Public Law 113–146, provided $10 billion in mandatory funding to establish a temporary program ("Veterans Choice Program") improving veterans' access to health care by allowing eligible veterans who met certain wait time or distance standards to use eligible healthcare providers outside the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) system. The law directed that this funding be deposited in the Veterans Choice Fund. In July 2015, the Congress passed Public Law 114–41, the Surface Transportation and Veterans Health Care Choice Improvement Act of 2015, which gave VA temporary authority, ending October 1, 2015, to use a certain level of Veterans Choice Fund dollars for pharmaceutical expenses related to treatment of Hepatitis C and for Care in the Community.
Public Law 115–26 amended the Veterans Choice Act to eliminate the original August 7, 2017, sunset date for the Veterans Choice Program and allowed the program to operate until all of the funds in the Veterans Choice Fund were expended.
Public Law 115–46, the VA Choice and Quality Employment Act of 2017, provided $2.1 billion in mandatory funding for the Veterans Choice Fund, to remain available until expended. In 2018, Public Law 115–96 provided $2.1 billion more in mandatory funding, to remain available until expended; and Public Law 115–182, the MISSION Act, provided an additional $5.2 billion in mandatory funding, to remain available without fiscal year limitation. The MISSION Act provided VA with flexibility, beginning on March 1, 2019, to use Veterans Choice Fund dollars for community care. In addition, the MISSION Act sunset the Choice Program in June 2019 and established the new Veterans Community Care Program. The Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 (Public Law 116–94) transferred $615 million from the 2020 start of year unobligated balances in the Veterans Choice Fund account to the Medical Community Care account.

Section 8008 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (P.L. 117–2) provided $80 million to establish the Emergency Department of Veterans Affairs Employee Leave Fund. The law directed that the funds be available for payment to the Department for the use of paid leave by any employee appointed under chapter 74 of title 38, United States Code who is unable to work due to certain circumstances resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The authorization for the paid leave under Section 8008 is from the date of enactment of the Act, March 11, 2021, through September 30, 2021. The period of availability for Section 8008 funding is from the date of enactment of the Act, March 11, 2021, through September 20, 2022.

This fund consists of gifts, bequests, and proceeds from the sale of property left in the care of the facilities by former beneficiaries; patients' fund balances; and proceeds from the sale of effects of beneficiaries who die leaving no heirs or without having otherwise disposed of their estate. Such funds are used to promote the comfort and welfare of veterans at hospitals, nursing homes, and domiciliaries where no general appropriation is available. Public Law 102–54 authorizes compensation work therapy and therapeutic transitional housing and loan programs to be funded from the General Post Fund (38 U.S.C. chapters 83 and 85).

For 2024, the Budget requests $146,778,136,000 in advance appropriation for Compensation and Pensions. This request satisfies the requirement created by the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015 (P.L. 113–235) and prevents our Nation's veterans from being adversely affected by budget delays.
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 the Department of Veterans Affairs (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, 2023, is expected to be 4.3 percent.

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, 2023, is expected to be 4.3 percent.

Modernizing VA's Records Management Program: This proposal would amend Title 38, United States Code, by creating a new section 5707 to codify the Veterans Benefits Administration's procedures with respect to imaged source paper files, input records, reports, or other documents under the Records Control Schedule required by Title 44, United States Code. In 2023, there is no cost associated with this proposal.
For the payment of readjustment and rehabilitation benefits to or on behalf of veterans as authorized by chapters 21, 30, 31, 33, 34, 35, 36, 39, 41, 51, 53, 55, and 61 of title 38, United States Code, $8,452,500,000, which shall become available on October 1, 2023, to remain available until expended: Provided, That expenses for rehabilitation program services and assistance which the Secretary is authorized to provide under subsection (a) of section 3104 of title 38, United States Code, other than under paragraphs (1), (2), (5), and (11) of that subsection, shall be charged to this account.
Note.—A full-year 2022 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the Budget was prepared; therefore, the Budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2022 (Division A of Public Law 117–43, as amended). The amounts included for 2022 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

For 2024, the Budget requests $8,452,500,000 in advance appropriation for Readjustment Benefits. This request satisfies the requirement created by the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015 (P.L. 113–235) and prevents our Nation's veterans from being adversely affected by budget delays.
This appropriation finances educational assistance allowances for certain servicemembers, 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) servicemembers 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 servicemembers 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).—P.L. 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.
Survivors and Dependents 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 servicemembers missing in action or interred by a hostile foreign government for more than 90 days are also eligible. The table below provides a comparison of trainees and costs for the Dependents Educational Assistance.
All volunteer force educational assistance (Montgomery GI Bill).—P.L. 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. 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, and reservists are financed by payments from the Department of Defense. Due to P.L. 116–315, the Montgomery GI Bill will be phased out starting in 2030.
Veteran Employment Through Technology Education Courses (VET TEC).—P.L. 115–48 established a high technology pilot program to provide eligible veterans who are entitled to educational assistance under chapter 30, 32, 33, 34, or 35 of title 38, United States Code, or chapter 1606 or 1607 of title 10, United States Code, with the opportunity to enroll in high technology programs of education that VA determines provide training and skills sought by employers in a relevant field or industry.
Veteran Rapid Retraining Assistance Program (VRRAP).—P.L. 117–2 established the VRRAP program and appropriated $386 million for benefits payments. P.L. 117–16 made further improvements to the program. VRRAP provides an eligible veteran with up to 12 months of tuition and fees and a monthly housing allowance based on Post-9/11 GI Bill rates, to be used towards training in a covered program of education that leads to a high-demand job. Covered programs include associate degrees, non-college degrees, and certificate programs. The Department of Labor determines what is considered a high-demand job for VRRAP. To be eligible for this program, individuals must be:
- At least 22 years of age and less than 67 years of age,
- Unemployed due to COVID-19 pandemic,
-Not eligible for GI Bill or VR&E benefits,
-Not enrolled in a Federal or State jobs program,
-Not receiving VA disability compensation because a veteran is unable to work, and
-Not receiving unemployment compensation, including enhanced benefits under the CARES Act.
The following table shows a caseload and cost comparison for these beneficiaries under existing legislation.

Veteran Readiness and Employment (VR&E, Chapter 31).—VR&E provides servicemembers and veterans with service-connected disabilities receive the assistance necessary to help them prepare for, obtain, and maintain suitable employment. Comprehensive assessments may include interest and aptitude testing as well as specialized assessments such as functional capacity examinations. During the training phase of the program, eligible servicemembers and veterans are provided assistance for necessary training such as tuition, fees, books and supplies at colleges, technical schools and other training programs. A veteran enrolled in training receives a monthly subsistence allowance. Eligible veterans may also receive specialized or adaptive equipment to help them overcome a disability or enable them to compete with non-disabled individuals. At the completion of training, veterans are provided with employment and placement services, including supplies and equipment needed to enter employment, adaptive equipment and workplace accommodations, incentives to employers to reimburse them for hiring and training veterans with disabilities, and two final months of subsistence allowance.

Tuition Assistance.—Public Law 106–398, enacted October 30, 2000, allows the military services to pay up to 100 percent of tuition and expenses charged by a school for servicemembers. If a service department pays less than 100 percent, a servicemember eligible for the Montgomery GI Bill Active-duty (MGIB) or the Post-9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33) can elect to receive VA benefits for all or a portion of the remaining expenses. Public Law 108–454 established a program that provides availability of education benefits for payment for national admissions exams and national exams for credit at institutions of higher education.
The National Exams.—The benefit allows VA to reimburse for the fee charged for national tests for admission to institutions of higher learning and national tests providing an opportunity for course credit at institutions of higher learning.
Licensing and Certification Test Payments.—Under Public Law 106–419, veterans and other eligible persons may receive up to $2,000 to pay fees required for civilian occupational licensing and certification examinations needed to enter, maintain, or advance in employment in a vocation or profession, effective March 1, 2001.
Work-Study.—Certain veterans, reservists, and dependents pursuing a program of rehabilitation, education or training, who are enrolled as full-time students, can work up to 250 hours per semester, receiving the Federal ($7.25 as of July 24, 2009) or State minimum wage rate, whichever is higher.
Payments to States.—State approving agencies are reimbursed for the costs of inspecting, approving, and supervising programs of education and training offered by educational institutions and training establishments in which veterans, dependents, and reservists are enrolled or are about to enter.
Reporting Fees.—Reporting fees are paid to education and training institutions to help defray the costs of certifying education enrollment for veterans enrolled in training during a calendar year.

Extension of Authority for the Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) Assistive Technology Grant Program: This proposal would extend the authority of the Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to award SAH Assistive Technology (SAHAT) grants and administer the program through September 30, 2027. Section 203 of Public Law (P.L.) 111–275 (Veterans Benefits Act of 2010), codified at 38 U.S.C. 2108, established the SAHAT grant program with a sunset date of September 30, 2016. Congress has since extended the sunset date four times. Most recently, Congress extended the program authority, via section 5201 of Public Law 116–159, through September 30, 2022. In 2023, the cost of this proposal is estimated to be $1 million.
Extension of Authority for the Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) Temporary Residence Adaptation (TRA) Grant: This proposal would extend the authority of the Secretary of Veterans Affairs (VA) to award SAH TRA grants through September 30, 2032. Section 101 of the Veterans Housing Opportunity and Benefits Improvement Act of 2006, codified at 38 U.S.C. 2102A, established the TRA grant with a sunset date of five years from enactment. Public Law 109–233, section 101, 120 Stat. 397 (2006). Congress has since extended the sunset date two times. Most recently, Congress extended the program authority, via section 205 of the Honoring Americas Veterans and Caring for Camp Lejeune Families Act of 2012, through December 31, 2022. Public Law 112–154, section 205, 126 Stat. 1165 (2012). In 2023, the cost of this proposal is estimated to be $810 thousand.
For military and naval insurance, national service life insurance, servicemen's indemnities, service-disabled veterans insurance, and veterans mortgage life insurance as authorized by chapters 19 and 21 of title 38, United States Code, $121,126,000, which shall become available on October 1, 2023, to remain available until expended.
Note.—A full-year 2022 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the Budget was prepared; therefore, the Budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2022 (Division A of Public Law 117–43, as amended). The amounts included for 2022 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

For 2024, the Budget requests $121,126,000 in advance appropriation for Veterans Insurance and Indemnities (VI&I). This request satisfies the requirement created by the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015 (P.L. 113–235) and prevents our Nation's veterans from being adversely affected by budget delays.
Note.—Department of Veterans Affairs insurance policy loans are not an extension of Federal credit. Credit schedules previously shown for this account have been discontinued.
The insurance business line administers six life insurance programs, including two trust funds, two public enterprise funds, a trust revolving fund, and Veterans' Mortgage Life Insurance (VMLI); and supervises four additional programs for the benefit of servicemembers, veterans, and their beneficiaries through contracts with a commercial company. All programs are operated on a commercial basis, to the extent possible, consistent with all applicable statutes. The insurance appropriation is the supplemental funding mechanism for the following Government life insurance activities: National Service Life Insurance (NSLI); Service-Disabled Veterans Insurance Fund (S-DVI); and VMLI.
National Service Life Insurance (NSLI).—Payments are made to the NSLI fund for certain World War II veterans for: (a) extra hazards of service; (b) gratuitous insurance granted to certain persons unable to apply for NSLI; and (c) death claims on policies under the waiver of a premium while the insured was on active duty.
Payment to Service-Disabled Veterans Insurance Fund (S-DVI).—Payments are made to the S-DVI fund to supplement the premiums and other receipts of the fund in amounts necessary to pay claims on insurance policies issued to veterans with service-connected disabilities.
Veterans' Mortgage Life Insurance (VMLI).—Payments are made to mortgage holders under this program, which provides mortgage protection life insurance to veterans who have received a grant for specially adapted housing due to severe disabilities. The trend in the number and amount of insurance policies in force appears in the following table.

The Filipino Veterans Equity Compensation Fund was established under the Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance, and Continuing Appropriations Act of 2009 (P.L. 110–329), to make payments to eligible persons who served in the Philippines during World War II. Payments were subsequently authorized by the Congress in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (P.L. 111–5). Original funding of $198,000,000 was supplemented by a transfer of $67,000,000 authorized by Public Law 111–212 that remains available until expended. Payments to citizens of the United States are $15,000. Payments to non-U.S. citizens are $9,000.
For necessary operating expenses of the Veterans Benefits Administration, not otherwise provided for, including hire of passenger motor vehicles, reimbursement of the General Services Administration for security guard services, and reimbursement of the Department of Defense for the cost of overseas employee mail, $3,863,000,000: Provided, That expenses for services and assistance authorized under paragraphs (1), (2), (5), and (11) of section 3104(a) of title 38, United States Code, that the Secretary of Veterans Affairs determines are necessary to enable entitled veterans: (1) to the maximum extent feasible, to become employable and to obtain and maintain suitable employment; or (2) to achieve maximum independence in daily living, shall be charged to this account: Provided further, That, of the funds made available under this heading, not to exceed 10 percent shall remain available until September 30, 2024.
Note.—A full-year 2022 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the Budget was prepared; therefore, the Budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2022 (Division A of Public Law 117–43, as amended). The amounts included for 2022 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

The Insurance Act of 1951 established the Service-Disabled Veterans Insurance (S-DVI) program for veterans with service-connected disabilities. S-DVI will remain open to new policy issuances through December 31, 2022, for veterans who separated from the service on or after April 25, 1951. This fund finances the payment of claims on existing life insurance policies and remains open for new issues at standard rates to veterans having service-connected disabilities.
Death claims.—Represents payments to designated beneficiaries.
All other.—Represents payments to policyholders who surrender their policies for their cash value and hold endowment policies which have matured.
Capital investment.—A policyholder may borrow up to 94 percent of the value of his or her policy.
Administration.—Represents the administrative costs of claims processing and account maintenance.
The trend in the number and amount of policies in force is indicated in the following table.
POLICIES AND INSURANCE IN FORCE

Insurance in force (dollars in millions) (EOY) | $2,907 | $2,973 | $2,862 |
|
Financing.—Operations are financed from premiums and other receipts. Additional funds are received by transfer from the Veterans Insurance and Indemnities appropriation, instead of direct appropriations to this fund.
Operating results and financial condition.—Since premium and other receipts are insufficient to cover operations, the fund continues to project liabilities in excess of assets. The deficit is expected to reach an estimated $1,576 million by September 30, 2022. The expected deficit is financed by additional funds from the above-mentioned Veterans Insurance and Indemnities appropriations.

Note.—Department of Veterans Affairs insurance policy loans are not an extension of Federal credit. Credit schedules previously shown for this account have been discontinued.
The Veterans' Reopened Insurance Fund pays claims and administrative costs on participating life insurance policies issued during the period May 1, 1965, through May 2, 1966, under three life insurance programs: 1) service-disabled standard insurance; 2) service-disabled rated insurance; and 3) nonservice-disabled insurance availing disabled World War II and Korean conflict veterans an opportunity to acquire life insurance coverage who were no longer eligible for other government insurance.
Budget program:
Death claims.—Represents payments to designated beneficiaries.
Dividends.—Policyholders participate in the distribution of annual dividends.
All other.—This represents resources for the administrative costs of processing claims and maintaining the accounts, and to those policyholders who: (a) surrender their policies for cash value; (b) hold endowment policies which have matured; and (c) have purchased total disability income coverage and subsequently become disabled.
Policy loans made.—A policyholder may borrow up to 94 percent of the cash value of his policy at an interest rate adjusted to reflect private sector borrowing costs.
The following table reflects the decrease in the number of policies and the amount of insurance in force:

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 Affairs (VA) Housing Program Account.—The 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 (first-time users of the program or users whose entitlement is fully restored) 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; or
(d) 25 percent of the loan amount for loans of $144,001 or greater.
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 servicemembers 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 veterans.—Established as a pilot project by the Veterans Benefits Improvement Act of 1998 (Public Law 105–368), this program does not require any new loan subsidy funding. The program has originated no new loans since 2009. The program was canceled in 2012. The existing loan will continue to be serviced within the program's financing account.

The Native American Veteran Housing Loan program provides direct loans to veterans living on trust lands under 38 U.S.C. chapter 37, section 3761. These loans are available to purchase, construct, or improve homes to be occupied as the veteran's residence. This program began as a pilot in 1993 and was made permanent on June 15, 2006, through Public Law 109–233.
The Vocational Rehabilitation Loan Program provides temporary loans to cover the costs of subsistence, tuition, books, supplies, and equipment in conjunction with service-connected disability benefits provided to veterans participating in the Department of Veterans Affairs' Veteran Readiness and Employment Program as authorized by chapter 31 of title 38, United States Code. Repayment of these loans is made in monthly installments, without interest, through deductions from future payments of compensation, pension, subsistence allowance, educational assistance allowance, or retired pay.

Note.—Department of Veterans Affairs insurance policy loans are not an extension of Federal credit. Credit schedules previously shown for this account have been discontinued.
The National Service Life Insurance Fund was established in 1940. It is for the World War II servicemembers' and veterans' insurance program. Over 22 million policies were issued under this program. Activity of the fund reflects a declining claim workload. The trend in the number and amount of policies in force is shown as follows:

2021 actual | 2022 est. | 2023 est. | |

Number of policies | 90,489 | 65,552 | 46,234 |
Insurance in force (dollars in millions) | $1,149 | $1,171 | $840 |
|
This fund is operated on a commercial basis to the extent possible. The income of the fund is derived from premium receipts, interest on investments, and payments which are made to the fund from the Veterans Insurance and Indemnities appropriation.
Assets of the fund, which are largely invested in special interest-bearing Treasury securities and in policy loans, are expected to decrease from an estimated $1,123 million as of September 30, 2022 to $786 million as of September 30, 2023. The actuarial estimate of policy obligations as of September 30, 2023, totals $744 million, leaving a balance of $42 million for contingency reserves.

The United States Government Life Insurance Fund (USGLI) 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 table below. All USGLI program policies have reached the maturity age. However, the program will continue to disburse insurance annuity benefits to beneficiaries.

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 $1.3 million as of September 30, 2022, to $1.1 million as of September 30, 2023, as an increasing number of policies mature through death or disability. The actuarial evaluation of policy obligations as of September 30, 2023, totals $0.7 million, leaving a balance of $0.4 million for contingency reserves.

The Grants for Construction of State Extended Care Facilities program is authorized by sections 8131 through 8137 of title 38, United States Code. It is a shared program between States and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), whereby VA provides no more than 65 percent of the funding for new construction of State home facilities, furnishing of domiciliary or nursing home care to veterans, and expansion, remodeling, or alteration of existing State home facilities. The State is responsible for providing the remaining 35 percent of funding.
Section 8004 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117–2) provided $500 million in 2021 to remain available until expended, for allocation under section 8131 through 8137 of title 38, United States Code. VA obligated $104 million in 2021 and plans to obligate the remaining $396 million in 2022.
For grants to assist States and tribal organizations in establishing, expanding, or improving veterans cemeteries as authorized by section 2408 of title 38, United States Code, $50,000,000, to remain available until expended.
Note.—A full-year 2022 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the Budget was prepared; therefore, the Budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2022 (Division A of Public Law 117–43, as amended).

The mission of the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board or BVA), as set forth in 38 U.S.C. 7101(a) is to conduct hearings and consider appeals for benefits and services properly before the Board in a timely manner. The Board's goal is to issue quality decisions in compliance with the requirements of the law, including the precedential decisions of the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims and other federal courts. The Board makes final decisions on behalf of the Secretary on appeals from decisions of the agencies of original jurisdiction with the Department of Veterans Affairs offices. The Board reviews all appeals for entitlement to veterans' benefits, including claims for service connection, increased disability ratings, total disability ratings, pension, insurance benefits, educational benefits, home loan guaranties, vocational rehabilitation, dependency and indemnity compensation, memorial benefits, and healthcare delivery to include a program of comprehensive assistance for family caregivers. The Veterans Appeals Improvement and Modernization Act of 2017, enacted on August 23, 2017, became effective on February 19, 2019. This law reformed the current appeals process and replaced it with a new, simpler process that uses easy to understand language and gives veterans choice and control of their appeal.

The mission of the National Cemetery Administration is to honor veterans with final resting places in national shrines and with lasting tributes that commemorate their service to our Nation. The National Cemetery Administration's vision is to serve all veterans and their families with the utmost dignity, respect, and compassion. Every national cemetery will be a place that inspires visitors to understand and appreciate the service and sacrifice of our Nation's veterans. There are a number of 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 organizations in establishing, expanding, improving, or operating veterans cemeteries; 3) providing headstones and markers for the graves of eligible veterans; 4) providing medallions commemorating the veterans' service that may be affixed to the privately purchased headstones or markers for veterans interred in private cemeteries; 5) providing presidential memorial certificates to family and friends of deceased veterans, recognizing the veterans' contribution and service to the Nation; 6) 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; 7) providing reimbursement for caskets and urns for veterans' remains when there are no next of kin and insufficient resources; and 8) recording First Notice of Veteran Deaths into the Department of Veterans Affairs 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.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (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 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. The Franchise Fund concept is intended to increase competition for Government administrative services, resulting in lower costs and higher quality.
