Abstract
This document adopts as a final rule, without change, an interim final rule amending the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) regulation regarding Veterans' Group Life Insurance (VGLI). The amendment was necessary in order to extend the deadline for former members to apply for VGLI coverage following separation from service to address the inability of former members directly or indirectly affected by the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) public health emergency to purchase VGLI.
