This aims to ensure a smoother transition to VA medical care immediately upon separation from service, reducing potential delays.
Key points
Eligible service members can pre-enroll in VA healthcare up to 180 days before their separation from active duty.
Ensures quicker access to VA healthcare benefits for veterans immediately after their service ends.
The pilot program will run for three years, with its effectiveness monitored and reported to Congress.
