Good afternoon, everyone. Francys [Crevier, CEO], thanks for the invitation to join you on this tribal land, the ancestral homeland of the Nacotchtank and Piscataway people.
VA waives copays for American Indian and Alaska Native Veterans
Thank you, Robyn Sunday-Allen for that kind introduction and, more importantly, for your exemplary leadership and service to Native people.
Today, the Department of Veterans Affairs proposed a rule that would waive copayments incurred on or after Jan. 5, 2022, for eligible American Indian and Alaska Native Veterans. Upon publication of the notice, there will be a 30-day period for the public to provide comments on this rulemaking. VA will review the comments and develop the final rule.
