The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) amends its regulations to remove most of the apportionment provisions and to stop apportioning most benefits. Currently, in limited situations, VA may pay a portion of a VA beneficiary’s monetary benefits directly to the beneficiary’s dependents. This is referred to as apportionment of benefits. Moreover, many claims for apportionment involve complex issues of family law, issues that VA claims adjudicators have limited ability to deal with and are more suited to state courts, which delays apportionment awards. Therefore, this regulation will prevent and stop delays in apportionment awards conducted by VA, which should have been initiated in a state court. These amendments are in accordance with the President’s priorities that improve service delivery, customer experience, and reduce administrative burdens for those accessing public benefits and services.
