Official abstract (Federal Register)
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is removing a regulation that was adopted to provide temporary flexibility under VA's Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) but is no longer applicable. The regulation relaxed PCAFC requirements for in-person home visits during the national emergency related to Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19). The removal of this regulation is appropriate because the national emergency related to COVID-19 (COVID- 19 National Emergency) has ended and the regulation has no effect.
Dates (as published)
This rule is effective February 13, 2026.
