View Rule

The rule proposes changes to the rules governing VA’s Automobile Adaptive Equipment (AAE) program. The AAE program provides adaptive equipment to assist servicemembers and veterans with entering, exiting, and operating their personal vehicles. This rule provides a methodology for payment based on independent market surveys completed by the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association (NMEDA). Additionally, this rule defines who is eligible to receive payments and requires all modifications to follow standards as defined by the Department of Transportation’s National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration.
