VA Comment Request on Reinstatement Forms for Lapsed Veterans Life Insurance
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This notice keeps in place, without changes, VA forms used when veterans apply to reinstate certain government life insurance or VALife coverage after it has lapsed for more than six months. It does not change insurance benefits or eligibility rules. The practical point is administrative: veterans, beneficiaries, insurers, advocates, and other interested parties can comment on whether the forms are necessary, clear, accurate in their time-burden estimate, and whether VA can make the process easier or more automated. Comments are due by August 17, 2026.
