| Title: Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Program—Self-Employment | |
| Abstract: This document amends the vocational rehabilitation and employment regulations of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) concerning self-employment for individuals with qualifying disabilities. We are making changes to conform VA's regulations for self-employment programs for veterans, and for servicemembers awaiting discharge, to statutory provisions, including provisions limiting eligibility for certain supplies, equipment, stock, and license fees to individuals with the most severe service-connected disabilities. We are also making changes in VA's regulations affecting eligibility for such assistance for certain veterans' children with birth defects in self-employment programs. In addition, we are amending our regulations regarding authority for approval of self-employment plans to make certain requirements less restrictive and less burdensome, removing a vague and overly broad requirement, making changes to reflect longstanding VA policy, and making nonsubstantive clarifying changes in our regulations affecting self-employment programs. | |
