Title: Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers Amendments Under the VA MISSION Act of 2018 
Abstract:

VA proposes to make several changes to the regulations for the Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC).  These changes would be made to comply with the recent enactment of the John S. McCain III, Daniel K. Akaka, and Samuel R. Johnson VA Maintaining Internal Systems and Strengthening Integrated Outside Networks Act of 2018 or the VA MISSION Act of 2018, which made several changes to the PCAFC authorizing statute, 38 U.S.C. 1720G. Section 161 of the VA MISSION Act of 2018 expanded eligibility for PCAFC, established new benefits for primary family caregivers, and made other changes to PFAFC. These changes would be made to ensure successful implementation of section 161 of the VA MISSION Act of 2018.
