View Rule

The Department of Defense published an interim final rule to implement requirements of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2020 permitting members of the uniformed services or their authorized representatives to file claims for personal injury or death caused by DoD health care providers in certain military medical treatment facilities. Because Federal courts do not have jurisdiction to consider these claims, DoD issued this rule to provide uniform standards and procedures for considering and processing these actions. DoD is in the process of adjudicating the public comments received on the interim final rule and will publish a final rule in the near future.
