The Department of Veterans Affairs
(VA) proposes to amend its regulation that governs a competent
veteran's designation of a person to receive the veteran's funds
and personal effects in the event that such veteran were to die
while in a VA medical facility. The proposed rule would eliminate
reference to obsolete VA forms, clarify the role of a VA fiduciary
for an incompetent veteran-patient, as well as restructure the
current regulation for ease of readability.
AO41 is a change in the
regulation adding an ICR and increasing burden.
