Senate passes bill allowing VA to vaccinate all veterans, spouses

2. That is not correct.

Unless you meet the stringent criteria, if you are Priority Group 8, subgroups including e, or g means you can’t get care.

You're not eligible for VA health care benefits if we place you in one of these subpriority groups:

Subpriority group e
All of these must be true. You:

Have a non-compensable service-connected condition that we've rated as 0% disabling, and
Don't meet the criteria for subpriority group a or b above
Note: You're eligible for care for your service-connected condition only.

Subpriority group g
All of these must be true. You:

Don't have a service-connected condition, and
Don't meet the criteria for subpriority group c or d above


If you didn’t enroll prior to 2003, are not service connected, and are not low income, your priority group 8 e or g means you get nothing.


THAT IS WHY this bill is necessary.
