Title: Filipino Veterans' Benefit Improvements | |
Abstract: This document amends the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) adjudication regulations to reflect changes made by three Public Laws. First, Public Law 106-377, the Department of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 2001, changed the rate of compensation payments to certain veterans of the Philippine Commonwealth Army and recognized guerrilla forces, who reside in the U.S. Second, Public Law 106-419, Veterans Benefits and Health Care Improvement Act of 2000, changed the amount of monetary burial benefits that VA will pay to survivors of certain veterans of the Philippine Commonwealth Army and recognized guerrilla forces who lawfully reside in the United States at death. Additionally, this document implements Public Law 108-183, the Veterans Benefits Act of 2003, and solicits public comments on this regulatory amendment only. This public law added service in the Philippine Scouts as qualifying service for payment of compensation, dependency and indemnity compensation (DIC) and monetary burial benefits at the full-dollar rate, and provided for payment of DIC at the full-dollar rate to survivors of certain veterans of the Philippine Commonwealth Army and recognized guerrilla forces who lawfully reside in the U.S. This document adopts the interim final rules published in the Federal Register on December 27, 2001, at 66 FR 66763 and February 16,2006, at 71 FR 8215. | |
