Title: Home Visits in Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers During COVID-19 National Emergency 
Abstract:

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is removing regulations that were adopted to provide temporary flexibility under VA’s Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) but is no longer applicable. The regulations relaxed PCAFC requirements for in-person home visits during the national emergency related to Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19). The removal of these regulations is appropriate because the national emergency related to COVID-19 (COVID-19 National Emergency) has ended and the regulations have no effect.
