VA RIN: 2900-AP59 Publication ID: Fall 2016 
Title: Hospital Care and Medical Services for Camp Lejeune Veterans 
Abstract:

This final rule amended Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) regulations to reflect a statutory mandate that VA provide health care to certain veterans who served at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, for at least 30 days during the period beginning on August 1, 1953, and ending on December 31, 1956. The law requires VA to furnish hospital care and medical services for these veterans for certain illnesses and conditions that may be attributed to exposure to toxins in the water system at Camp Lejeune. This rule does not address the statutory provision requiring VA to provide health care to these veterans’ family members; regulations applicable to such family members will be promulgated through a separate final rule.
