VA-2024-VBA-0008 VA Clarification of VA’s Processing of Survivors Benefits Claims (2900-AR32) Rulemaking 2026-01-22T13:18:26Z 0b00006486472052 2900-AR32 VA proposes to amend regulations to streamline and improve the timeliness of claims processing for VA survivor benefits. These amendments clarify that if VA can grant dependency and indemnity compensation (DIC) for a surviving spouse or child, then VA would concurrently deny the claim for survivors’ pension unless survivors’ pension would be the greater benefit. Survivors’ pension would only be the greater benefit if the claimant is eligible for the $90 Medicaid nursing home rate because they are the Veteran’s surviving spouse, have no dependents, are currently in a nursing home, and have applied for, or currently receiving, Medicaid.               {"displayProperties": [], "keywords": null, "modifyDate": "2026-01-22T13:18:26Z", "dkAbstract": "VA proposes to amend regulations to streamline and improve the timeliness of claims processing for VA survivor benefits.
