On March 24, President Joe Biden signed the SAVE LIVES Act (https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th congress/house-bill/1276) into law, expanding VA’s legal authority to provide COVID-19 vaccines to all Veterans,
regardless of their VA health care enrollment status, as well as Veteran spouses, caregivers and some beneficiaries.
The SAVE LIVES Act removed some of the legal limits on the medical care VA can provide to Veterans, based on health care eligibility (https://www.va.gov/health-care/eligibility/) and priority groups (https://www.va.gov/health-care/eligibility/priority-groups/).
