## Abstract

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is revising its regulations that govern VA's Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) by extending eligibility for legacy participants, legacy applicants, and their Family Caregivers and the applicable benefits afforded to Family Caregivers, to include the monthly stipend, by one year. This change will provide VA with an additional year to complete reassessments of legacy participants, legacy applicants, and their Family Caregivers. This change will also ensure that legacy participants, legacy applicants, and their Family Caregivers are treated equitably.
